This is part 1 of my report at Mill Creek, part 2 will come tonight when I upload pictures.

So, i went to Mill Creek yesterday for my first time. let me say, what a fantastic little stream and pleasant drive that was. I parked at the National Forest access, jumped in and caught my first Mill Creek rainbow on my 2nd or 3rd cast. A tinty little dink, all of maybe 3" long but colored nicely and very eager to eat a dry fly. The rest of the day was exactly the same. I probably caught a rainbow from 3" to 10" on every other cast, bringing a total of over 30 to hand, with atleast that many falling off the barbless fly before I got em in all the way. I did see in one hole 4 BIG trout. They would have been 12-14" EASY but they dont get big by being dumb, I couldnt convince them to eat. My last fish of the day was my biggest, i was casting a BHPT at some big minnows when this super bright green rainbow shot up and inhaled the fly, a good solid 10" fish. I left with a big smile on my face. I will be back, that creek was most excellent and the perfect middle of the week break for me. Pictures will come tonight once I upload them.

Yeah every fish I caught was nicely filled out. I can only assume the rains have helped with stirring up the stuff providing food. i didnt catch any that looked thin. I hope to return many times to this creek, it was delightful.
