Friday

Hit crane creek Friday for a long walk. I landed five and had several others get off. One was landed while recovering from falling in a deep hole . I tried to save my iPod which I finally remembered to bring to take picture to load up. Its back on but touch screen won't work. Any way I assumed since u fell in the hole no fish would still be around and I laid my rod with u feet of leader on the ground the olive jig washed down stream and the little trout almost got my rod. Landed him he was just big enough that the par marks were fading. Maybe eight inched or so. They were very aggressive today. Had a big one take a swipe at a foam beetle I tied up Thursday. Only looked once then spooked.  Lost the beetle in a tree. Good day. Thanks Ty and Jim at plateau for the buggers and Griffiths gnat. Caught most  on the buggers.

Were you casting upstream or down?

Nighthawk, I did a little of both but mostly upstream, in places where the water was moving quickly it didn't matter as much,. In the slower water I had to crouch and cast softly upstream. I have been fishing crane a lot lately from the railroad bridge down so I have a technique for each hole. The creek is dropping again so I had to find the fastest deepest spots to find aggressive fish. The big one were holding in clear deep pools but wouldn't take.
