Notes

I found a secluded little spot along the creek and watched the water for awhile until I was able to spot a few fish. I then fished nymphs on a 1-2' dropper off of an EHC. It was nearly impossible to cast since the area was shrouded with trees and only had about 2' of open bank.

The highlight of this outing was spotting a nice brown - I'm guessing 16" - and getting him to take my white caddis pupa. Unfortunately I missed him. I will go back this week and see if I can spot him again.
