Pocono Fall fly fishing - Nov 2011

Although I haven't posted much lately, I have been regularly fishing. I have been fishing small native streams the past 2 months. Devil's Hole has been the main stream I've been fishing along with some unnamed streams. At DH, I averaged 5 trout per 2 hour outing. The water temperature was 55 degrees in Oct but today DH was only 44 degrees. I didn't notice any insect activity while fishing DH the past 2 months but all trout were caught on dry flies. I used some rather ugly, size 16, flies that I didn't care if I lost in a high hanging tree. The quality didn't seem to matter nor did the presentation. The most important fact is that the trout don't see you first because the water is crystal clear. The size of trout weren't large but that is what you expect from a small native stream. Below is a pic of one of my catches today. I caught a couple others with even more color but my camera died after taking this pic. Outside air was in the high 30's but my fingers didn't stay cold once the fish started hitting!
