My favorite wild rainbow stream just became more interesting. I headed out early to beat the crowds at my very accessible but favorite wild rainbow stream. I finally had a good day after several frustrating trips this year and got a slam within the first hour and added a horny head to boot. The rainbow came first, then a nice brown that surprised me since it had par marks and red dots (although it was most likely a stocker that swam up and had been in the stream for awhile). The biggest surprise was a wild brook, which I have never caught here, being a relatively low elevation stream. Caught about 90% today on a flashback BHPT. The flash seemed to be important as other nymphs did not work, unless it had flash. The brook took a flash psycho nymph. The last fish of the day took the dry, which was a nice way to end the day.
Definitely a face only a mother could love
My first surprise brown with dots starting to turn red
My real surprise on this stream - wild brook
From this hole
This brown was most likely a stocker that swam way up
This happened a lot today
