Grateful Dead - 4-17-72 - I Know You Rider (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebWm_76riIc#)

After staying up way too late for a 5:00am alarm, some early morning Dead and some stiff coffee got me going in the morning. This was the first song I heard and it was in my mind all day.  I thought the warm weather would have the brookies looking up a bit early this year, so I met up with a friend who also enjoys the blue lines. 

We timed out the rain perfectly and it was just finished when we got to the pull off.  I'll never got tired of this view:

It started out real good and I was able to land a few like this on top.  I hope I never stop getting excited about a 6 inch brookie hitting a dry fly...

Fishing wasn't outstanding, but the potential is there once it warms up a bit more.  The water was very cold still.  I'll be back for sure.

Jeff,

Excellent Blue line coverage.  Good photos also.

As you know, I have fished a blue line or two and that ones is beautiful plus damn dangerous.  No way in hell that you should fish that creek alone.  Break an ankle and there will be no one to stop  by since you are the only man on tha creek.

Nice report,Cuz

You aren't kidding JT.  That's why I enlisted Aaron to come with me.   I've done plenty of solo stuff, but that stream won't be one of them.

I hope I CAN get excited about a 6" brookie. My big fish water looks like chocolate milk most of the fishable season. I'm surrounded by bluelines though. Nice report
