Fish

West "By God" Virginia

Went up to the the mountains recently to chase wild rainbows and native brook trout. We caught the weather just right, and had a great trip. We fished Seneca Creek for the most part. It is a stream listed on the Top 100 trout streams in the country by TU. All of the fish in the stream are naturally reproduced and full of beautiful colors. There were some great camping sites along the river that I'd like to check out some day.

We caught several fish this size with colors that were incredible.

The stream gets a bit more rugged as you go up the mountain. It is one of the most scenic places I've ever been. I can't wait to go back.

Stocking

We stocked the Rainbow Trout for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources last week at Brookville tailwater. They only have one guy that transports the fish from the hatchery in northern Indiana, so if we want to spread the fish out over the whole river, we need to show up with a crew of bucket carrying stockers. Here is the crew from last week.

After the stocking I got a chance to do some fishing for the trout that were already in the stream. I was lucky enough to hook into this nice trout using a Clouser Minnow on a 4 wt. This is one of the biggest fish I have caught in Brookville since I have been fishing the tailwater.

Cold Day

Headed out with Ed, Jeff and Scott to try our luck in the cold. Guides were freezing up all day. Trees were full of ice from the freezing rain the day before. We fished all day and took several good fish on both streamers and nymphs.

This one took a streamer swung through her hole.

Ed got this one on a nymph.

We had a great day, even with the freezing temps.
