Well finally finished moving and got a day to fish. Cold and rainy so figured would stay local. Plus the little lehigh has left me skunked all year. Parked by the fly shop and hit the pool on the upstream side of the bridge there. Nada, don't know if there was no fish there or me having a hard time with my drift. Was using a tandem with a micro egg and a zebra midge. So went up one pool and still nada, not even a glimmer of activity. So went up to the bend at the discharge of the hatchery. I know that holds fish. Well it did for everyone else not me. So hot frustrated and went downstream one hole. There I saw it a golden rainbow swimming around like a flashlight in the water. Figured it was a long shot with what I had tied on. But hey why not. First cast drifts right by him but I see him move and then a shadow flew out from the rocks. Brought a 15" brown to hand. Yes take that little lehigh your not leaving me goose egged this year. So it was getting late, and cold so one more cast. Turned into a long release on the golden. Guess he needed some encouragement from the brown to eat.
