Took advantage of the weather yesterday and the rainfall the night before to take a half day and head out to a schuylkill county brookie stream i had been watching, in search of my first brookie.
 not a big one, but so pretty (sorry for bad pic - flash was on) Here is the setting:  I really liked this kind of small stream fishing and hope to get back for more - would love to get a wild rainbow before end of the year.

A word to the wise...
That is how the addiction starts, right there. The next thing you know you'll be buying a 3wt, or a 2wt, and running up trickles in the mountains. Onlookers will be calling you nuts and tell you there are no fish in there.

Congratulations! That's a pretty little brookie and a great looking stream. The opportunities are practically endless here in PA for this type of fishing. Good luck.

That's a great start and you have picked what appears to be a great proving grounds. I hope you live close by it. Wild trout 365 and solitude is a great combo to learn fly fishing.

Thats a nice brookie! Where I fish, that's the typical size...I set my goal for colorful fish that take great pictures rather than size. Just finding brookies of any size gets me excited.

I think the addiction may be taking hold....
Since I started out fishing smaller streams anyway, I had my 7'6 3wt with me.... but actually found it easier to use my 11' tankara rod to guide nymphs through the small pools between rocks - but lack of line length control in tenkara is really just silly. Wondering if this 9'6" 3-wt that is on sale for $120 would be a best of both worlds for this kind of situation... http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-CZN-Series-Rods/711817.uts
