Got off to a late start. Too late for a long drive or hike. I headed up to the new local. Another angler was putting up his gear. He fished the lower reach. All on dries. Brookies only. I headed up the trail well past where he had stopped. I clipped off my dropper and managed to get a couple of pune brookies to his the dry.
There was plenty of water in the creek and I ended up tying on a pincely dropper. Lots of quick releases and very few fish photos were taken as they either escaped from my hand or wriggled off the hook. Brook, brown and rainbows.
Wild flowers dominated the photo work. Soon it will be time to savor the nettles.
I was having some issues with my trout net. The "rubber" bag is getting stiff and would no longer "open" with the weight of a small trout. I went online searching for a replacement. I ran across the Brodin Eco-clear, which, according to Brodin is made from a environmentally friendly soft plastic which won't harden over time. But the damn thing doesn't line up with the holes in the net frame and I've got some work to do to make it fit right.
Photo dump.
