Being I am going back to work tomorrow after a 90 day break (health issues) I decided to fish one of my favorite delayed harvest streams and one wild stream. Temps got to 91 with a cool breeze. Usually I don't count fish an productive days sso after thirty I stopped. Many stockers earger for a dry with a midge dropper. I also enjoyed drifting a midge (green or black) on its own at the surface, they can;t stand that! While being the crane while perched on a rock in the middle of the stream staying very still I noticed at least another dozen fish slowly heading my way. Yes be the crane.. it works..lol
While casting I noticed a splashing noise, it was a huge water snake with what appeared to be a 10-12" brook trout in its mouth. I got a short video and this still shot of the excitment! Damn Snakes!...lol
Great day, I'm ready to get back to work now... I think?
Ps Seen total of three snakes today, going to be a wicked summer!
Pss. Funny, on the way out I seen some waders and boots apparently someone threw out in the middle of nowhere. Guess they wore them out good enough..lol
Now I know we fished the same area this week. I saw those waders in the Moritmer Campground and commented to my buddy that "when you buy cheap s**t you have cheap s**t". Isn't Wilson Creek the best? Love your pictures! Hope your return to work goes well.... days like today don't help much. Cheers!
