finally started tying flies, and of course i started with the zebra midge, the first fly i caught a trout on, at this very creek in fact. watching a dry fly eat on the stimulator was an added bonus. at the end, some striper footage by dudes better at striper fishing than i am.

went to the creek after work, got a trout first cast, and then nothing! was about to get going when i snagged onto someone's line which had hooked an eel! tried to set him free but he slithered away somehow. philadelphia, pa

i will get you eventually delaware county, pa

i will get that golden delaware county, pa

did even see the take, it was so delicate. to be honest it was small miracle even to hook up on such a weak set. ultimately it wasn't the hookset that failed as later i saw that he had broken off the 5x to the zebra midge. the 2 brookies did not make up for it. delaware county, pa

here's how the day went: i thought i had my trifecta on the 4th fish in about 10 minutes, but lost it at the net. got my trifecta 11 fish later! 15 or so total fish, a few that i lost, plenty more that i missed the strike. cast after cast they were on it. delaware county, pa

actually 2 back to back trips, the second I almost didn't go on because the forecast looked pretty bleak with rain and wind. glad i showed up! delaware county, pa

and i got the one i needed delaware county, pa

had a chance to get out when i suddenly had some free time. started out with a trout breaking my entire rig off, but i regrouped and found some success. delaware county, pa

this time on the mono rig delaware county, pa

went in nymphing, saw them rising and switched to a simulator dry-dropper, and then i missed the smash delaware county, pa

i've done a lot of fly fishing in the first year since I started here. embarrassingly, my casting is only marginally better on this outing, as i've been mono rigging mainly in the last month and i'm out of practice with fly line. this creek requires a bit more distance than i can do with a tight line. it's felt nice to whip that fly line again philadelphia, pa
