Took a ride to the Little Lehigh today (Sunday, 4/1) and took the skunk again. Looks like I need some serious work on nymphing skills and on recognizing what the fish may be taking off the surface.I had on small BWO spinners and elk hair caddis dries that led to one miss on my part and about 4 or 5 times where the trout came up to the fly and refused it.
Water was clear and fish were active. My skills were just not up to the task.
On the plus side, got to watch Wharfrat catch one fish after another just a short distance away. Good to meet the gentleman and converse with him while enjoying a day on the water. Of course, he was enjoying the day a little more than I was.
Also caught up with Heritage Angler, who had come by to drop off some flies for me and return a cooler and containers. I guess this means I need to fill them again and send them back to him.
Maybe next time..........
