The Day Of The Worm

Today was the first day I got out fishing in several weeks due to working the past three weeks without a day off and the holidays. I got to fish with my friend Rob today. We headed to a limestone stream in South East Pennsylvania the water flow was perfect and the water temp was fourty five dergees. We were both euro nymphing with eleven foot Hardy/Greys streamflex rods. Today was the day of the worm all fish were caught on vladi worms, walts worms and the green rock worm caddis. Rob and I caught fourteen fish in three hours all rainbows and a palimino. The first fish was caught on a size sixteen walts worm,the second on a vladi and the palimino on a rock worm caddis. It was a another good day of fishing.

Fished Wild Trout Stream On Sunday

I hit one of my favorite streams on Sunday and learned a valuable lesson do not use Dohiku hooks I lost at least three nice brown trout. It may have been user error.I have been told about thes hooks before.I still had a great day anyway always good to be on the stream. Catching does count though.I also learned when your gonna nymph bring the right rod. I forgot my streamflex and used my 9 5 wt instead.Dry dropper was the best bet. I was lucky enough to run across some pheasent feathers laying in the field. They will get put to good use at the vise. Im heading North this coming week to try and bag a deer I would rather be fishing but its a long running tradition at the cabin. I will find myself looking for wild brookies in the small streams while walking up the hollows.
