Thought I'd end 2012 with some trout.  Va has had lots of rain and even some snow in the mountains.  I wasn't expecting the snow to still be there though. The first stream I fished for two hours and didn't even have a single hit.  The snow had also melted and froze back over in the night and it was about two inches of ice all on the ground.  Made hiking into the stream and out interesting.  I busted my tail several times.  I knew I had to be on a stream that was farther down the mountain.  Stream number two proved my thinking was right with a nice brookie in the first pool.  Glad my back up stream saved the trip.

Stream 1.


Its a lie, snow doesn't turn yellow....










Saw some tiny black stoneflies.

Stream 2.















Now time to relax till midnight.  -0-

You just drink too much water. Coffee and beer are all you need. Water's for girls and people without leg cramps.
It's all shit, piss and bliss.

Nice J. 

Good to see some stones coming off too, we saw a few small midges today, but that was about it.  We were able to hook some fish on stonefly nymphs though.

Were you not throwing a pink weenie on stream #1?   bd;0

I threw some black stones for a while on stream 1 but then said "screw it I want to catch a brook trout today" and tied on a pink weenie.  Still nothing.  I think there was too much snow running off into the stream and the sun wasn't hitting it.  Stream two was much more productive.

Keep me updated.  I have to take a DIP class soon for the ticket, but I am free on weekends in January besides that.  Happy New Year to you too.
