March 30 - This was the nicest day we've had so far this spring. It was sunny and mid 50's. I fished the PO from 2-5 pm. There were hatches of BWO's, light colored caddis, and black stones. I noticed trout taking naturals as soon as I got to the stream. Majority of all trout were caught on a 16-18 Adams parachute. I landed roughly 8 and missed just as many.
March 31 - Easter Sunday was not as nice at the day earlier. It was overcast with temps in the low 50's. My 7' 3# had trouble casting dry flies since it was quite windy. I fished from noon-2pm. I missed a couple of hits on the dry and had a fair amount of nosed refusals. I scouted further down the stream and ended up tying on a green BH wooly bugger. I caught 1 small brown on the WB in a crazy deep hole. The current water levels are low and that hole was at least 6 foot deep. On my way back to the car, I stopped by an area close to the farmyard where I saw fish earlier. I tossed the WB and the 14-15" brown below practically came out of the water to hammer it. Beautiful brown!
It's always good to have some small ones as well!
