A Peaceful Day and Great Fishing!

After a short day of work Saturday we headed to the place I find myself fishing more. First because fishing has been great this year and second the gas is less if you only have to drive 10 miles to start fishing.

We decided to take a different way into the pond today, which followed the outlet stream. The water was low in the stream as you cold see the water rolling over the rock stream bed. But after a short walk we where ready to fish. It is so much easier when you have a friend leaving a canoe down at the pond and is willing to give you the key and combo.

I suggest too tie on the tan caddis on for the first fly. One cast one fish, a nice 8 inch brookie with the great native colors. We would catch fish all day on 2 different flies, with the largest fish being around 14 inches. I was surprised to see some of these fish seem to have there spawning colors already. I’m not sure if this possible, but beautiful fish.

As we fished the shore line we focused on the water bugs skimming the top of this mirror like water that the pond holds. We could lay a caddis in the middle of this group of bugs and WHAM! Fish on.

As we made are way around the pond we found that the temp change was very different, sometimes up to 15 degrees colder. (Estimated by handy finger) Let me tell you, find the cold water find the most beautiful Brook Trout known to man. The colors, the hook jaw and just the over all numbers of fish hanging around here. WOW!
