Thanks to my son, Michael!

Finally got to the club
and arrived to slightly high water. I did fairly well on conventional blood dots including a really nice bow at the hole above the curve.
Did hit some long drought periods, but it was good to just get out. Was prepared for the black stonefly, but the higher off colored water kinda nixed that.
My computer is down, but will try to post pics/vid on this old laptop.
Match the hatch
The black stone fly was coming off and the trout were rising every where!
A new member was tossing a caddis, the closest thing he had to a stone fly and on his 3rd cast he connected. I had no dry flies with me, and man, I wish I did.
The creek was an 11 out of ten and I saw several big fish caught. One tiger at the walking bridge was huge, but lost after a long struggle. The guy’s line broke, but I saw the fish from the bridge.
There were a few trees down and it amazes me how Steve gets the job done getting the fallen timber taken care of. Under his supervision and love for the club, he makes the Yellow Creek Trout Club the best place to fish….period.
My first fish of the day was a Chinese fire drill off the lower quad bridge fishing upstream. Great net job by the new guys.
60 degrees, but rain
Met Jack Paulik at the club today.
I fished around 2 hrs before Jack got there and I did OK.
On his first cast Jack hooked a huge brown and just as we were going to lift him for a pic, he shook off.
I lost a monster at the boulder hole and we connected on these 2 bigs just before calling it quits for the day. The fly of the day was a green mop fly/sucker spawn tandem.
There was snow on the ground, rain, and 60 degree winds blowing. Weird weather. But the fish did not mind. We caught a bunch and had a really great day fishing the Yellow Creek Trout Club.
Stocked yesterday
and fished today.
Ran into Al, Steve, and Andrew and went after the fresh stockers from yesterday.
Had no problem catching the new fish. Though the water was a little high and discolored the fish did not mind. Everyone there was catching fish and enjoying the awesome weather.
Steve and I helped this gentleman catch a fish or 2.
Caught nothing big, but did some big fish caught and heard other guys talking about some of the bigs they caught.
