Howdy all . Well today i had to work (got called in out 1:30 am last night , and today was a schedule day off) . So about 2:00 today i decided to check Jolly Mill park out . It is a awesome place , Very clean water and alot of historic things to see and read

This I think is the main water way here at the park

This Photo is of the old dam , there were a couple of big fish in the run off , If you can wade there with a fly rod you could have a blast

This photo is of the mill , It runs once a month on a Saturday it would be super cool to see . The rest is down stream of the mill . I fished there with not alot of luck

This picture is pointing up stream towards the old dam

So very sorry for the crappy pictures , not sure whats wrong with it

Okay now the fishing Report , these 2 fish were caught using a salmon egg . The bigger one seemed to be around 14 inches or so . I used my fly rod for a bit with a red San Jaun . a couple of strikes but not really any takes on it . I switched to a midge and caught 1 about a 7 inch . It was extremely cold and hard to cast with frozen eye lids on my rod and my EYES :lol::lol: . I then switched to my spinning rod and power bait , caught another mayby 8 inch . All in all it was fun and i do think its a great place to fish , Waders would be very helpfull and probally a little warmer aswell

anyways hope i didnt bore you all with this

Mr Ducky,

Regardless of how the fishing went, this place looks beautiful. Please bear with me as I am not from that area. Where is this place? I would be interested in checking this place out fishing or not.

Thanks,

Great report Ducky and pictures. It looks like Mrs D will finally have some fresh fish for dinner. I've tried Jolly Mills [Capps] a couple of times and basically struck out on anything over six inches. I just figured folks cleaned it out right after the stocking truck left. I'll have to give it another shot sometime.
