Derek and I  bolted out at the usual time of 5:30 AM  yesterday in hopes that the fishing will be good since it has cooled down and we have recieved some rain. We hit a small little stream that has produced mostly rainbows in past visits. The water levels looked good and it was a little off color. Derek's success was on a small black nymph dropper and mine was a black soft hackle. There were no consistant hatches coming off other than a few tan midges,a few BWOs,  very few caddis and a solitary mayfly. All in all it was a fine day... caught fished consistantly throughout the day and lost a bunch of flies in the process.

good deal, glad somebody got to go fishing this w/e, between running a chess torunament (http://www.wschess.org) and mowing the yard, soccer and the FAIR and running kids all over Forsyth County I wasn't able to go... :'(
ex - I'm not going to live with you through one more fishing season!
me -There's a season?

...Well, I know what stream that wasn't.  Nice browns.  Things seem to be picking up. 0--0
