Hickory Creek Report

[Capt E]

The wife and I decided to get out and fish Hickory in the morning for a while. Once again orange wollies were the hot fly along with rootbeer estaz bugs. Between the brush and the wind, we ended up 'donating' our most successfull flies to the tree gods.

Hey Chief,

I'm not really familiar with the proper names of any of the locations, but we were on the east bank by the ball fields. We started at the ball fields and worked our way up stream to the spring street bridge. All of our fish came between the low water bridge and the walking bridge. You can see my wifes prized orange bug quite clearly in a tree about 10 feet over the water about 50 yards up stream from the low water bridge along with an assortment of other orange based flies. She said something about putting a stepladder in the truck the next time we head down that way. I'm gonna be sure and grab the camera....I also really need to stop taking a 9 foot rod down there, that is just asking for trouble.

I fished Hickory Sunday and did pretty well. I caught 24 fish, the two biggest were 16 and 17 inches. They both came to zebra midges. I caught several fish in the 14 to 15 inch range and only about 10 in the 9 to 12 inch range. It did slow down quite a bit after the sun got overhead.
