mic Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 So, on purpose this time, NHarris and I fished my favorite blue ribbon creek together. Last time under similar conditions, we tore them up on big dries so this time I planned on the same and wanted to try out some of my "Simple Flies" documented in the fly tying forum. So I started with big and dry, and NHarris started with small and shiny (Pimrose Midge). Turns out small, shiny, and deep was the trick, but I wanted to try so many things it took me a while to find something that worked, a size 18 hare's ear with a flashback and size six lead. My caddis dry did get popped more than a few times, but I couldn't stick them. I think they might actually have been last minute refusals. I did catch the biggest chub I've ever caught... probably 10 inches long on my simple stone. NHarris caught his biggest fish from this creek a good 12"... IMO a trophy on this creek. So fishing with a partner on a small creek... you lose some water, but you learn a lot and walk less. In the end, I brought three to had and lost a few more. Still better then work in my cubical. jackdizo, laker67, bkbying89 and 2 others 5
Eric82 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 That is a lunker!!! Nice fish!!! well I'm glad we all had some luck this weekend!!!!
mreed81 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Awesome day! I sure love that little creek. Do those little ones usually feast heavily a lot in the winter? last two times I fished all the little ones I caught were fat little pigs.
mic Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 I need to add. All the fish were my partners.

I went Saturday and only took pictures of a couple of fish. Carrying three cameras on the river and only took pictures of two trout. I can't please myself. ness, Eric82 and patfish 3
