Was feeling a bit lethargic after a late night, so I made a late afternoon trip up to the new local (sorry doug) Looks like all the apples have been harvested for the season. The last time I drove up the orchards were filled with yellow and red orbs.
 
Met three cars driving out and there were two left up at the parking lot. Since it was 3:30 I jumped in just a short was up the trail. Tied on a small orange stimi with a green Tellico dropper. The water looked great and I was perplexed that I wasn't getting any hits. Then I saw fresh wet footprints on the rocks as I moved upstream. What to do, if it had been earlier in the day I would have gotten out and hiked further upstream, but as it was late in the day, I chose to sit down and have a snack and a beer! That let increased our separation by at least 10 minutes, but it didn't do much to improve the fishing. I did manage to get a slam with a brown, a rainbow and a dink brookie. 

Just past the campground the other fisherman passed me on his way out and asked how I was doing, "Not as good as you I suspect" "Sorry, I stopped a little way up, I started at 2:45" he replied. No wonder I found so few willing fish. Fished up a ways further, not sure if I got into undisturbed waters, but the fishing was getting better. With the light getting low, I called it a day and headed back down the trail.

Sounds like an afternoon well-spent, even if you were left with sloppy seconds. Great pics!
