How's the water level and conditions at the public area near the dairy farm? I'll be heading there next week.

Thanks

Water is low and clear, it is best fished early in the morning, I plan on fishing it tomorrow morning, I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

By afternoon the water temp in areas is reaching close to 70 I don't fish for them then it is to hard on them.

Water is in great shape, I fished a bit this morning on the way to work, the water is in good shape, down a bit from last month but still not bad for august, here are a few I caught nothing big, but there were plenty of them, I caught 4 out of the same hole, and saw a nice one chase one of the smaller ones I had hooked.

Caught all of them on #10 tungsten headed nymphs tied with possum hair, natural color. Good luck.

Looks like a 0 Hart reel to me....have a few I use and a few tucked away.

It is a Ross Colorado 0, I like it on my 6' 5wt, it is my favorite crane creek rod.

You are right, I thought you were looking at todays pics, that is a F-2 I use it a lot also, it is on my 6'10" 6wt Scott G series.

Tim, thanks for the report. The creek and fish look incredible. I can't wait to get out there and try my luck.

Those are some pretty fish. I guess I'm a sucker for fly patterns though....I wanna see that "possum nymph"
