BSC, 2-22

[bkbying89]

Went to BSC on Wednesday thinking the rain would have put a stain in the water. That was not the case. The water level was up but I found the spring extremely clear and not one trout came to hand in about four hours fishing. I can't make any excuses but I really expected some different results.

That is pretty shocking, especially considering you have a good handle on that creek and know how to catch fish there. I have seen the fishing decline a bit over the past six or eight months where I used to catch double digits along a certain stretches, i was now only catching a handful, sometimes less and the sizes of the fish were considerably smaller. I haven't made it out nearly as much over the time I mentioned, but it has been a different experience regardless.

I am sure that the lack of rain has put a damper on the creek fishing but it seems like the absence of trout has gotten discouraging. I remember your post where you mentioned otters. Does anyone have any info on how much damage a family of otters can do to a small creek like BSC? I am glad that I have other options to fish. Maybe a real rain may wake the creek up.
