Conditions: Overcast Sky. Around 45 degrees. Rain Around 12oclock.

Water Conditions: clear.

Working Flies: #18 BH Pheasant Tail, #14 Caddis Pupa

Days On The Water in 2010: 8

Report: Got to Wilson creek around 10:30. Rigged up a dry and dropper rig with a #12 Adams and a flashback pheasant tail. Got a small bait fish of some sort on it. Then landed a really small brookie. Both had huge scar marks on them. They were near a tree that’s trunks are all in the water so I guess a huge brown lives there! Most of the stream is general brookie water. Mostly riffles. Majority of my fish were in the tails of pools (if you could find a pool!) and in seams between two riffles. Noting else much happening so I switched to a #18 emerging midge with no luck but a tree! Switched to a #14 Caddis pupa and got 3 more fish on it. Right before the rain came I switched to a little attractor pattern I came up with and landed 1 brookie. Once the rain started I was able to bring one other brookie to hand. All brookies that a landed were small dinks so not much happening! Had to climb a really gnarly hill to get back out. Next time I am throwing a rope in my backpack to help me get up that hill! Got out around 12:15 and headed home =(

Working Flies: #6-10 Black Sparkle Woolly Bugger, #14 Green Caddis Pupa

Days On The Water in 2010: 6

Report: Had a few hours after school to fish. Got to bike over to a little stream to do some fishing that has recently been stocked. Fished around with a sparkle caddis larvae with no results. Saw a few fish that were easily spooked so I resorted to crawling on my knees and bow casting. After spooking a few more fish I tied on a mo hair leech with no results. Switched to a gummi bugger with still no looks. Went back upstream to a really shallow sad looking slow run. Saw 2 fish. Hooked one #14” rainbow on a #14 Green Caddis Pupa but spooked the other one during the fight. Went upstream to a deep pool with no luck on the caddis so I switched to a #8 Black Sparkle Woolly Bugger and the fish went crazy for it. Landed another but got off. A really great time fishing all in all!

will be fishing most of this weekend hopefully so more to come on the blogosphere!
