Well lately I've been having no luck! This past Sunday I fished the Donegal for a couple hours in the evening - caught one rainbow on an olive and black wooly bugger. Yesterday I spent three hours on the stream, and caught a single 3 inch creek chub! In 3 hours!
I must be doing something wrong... I tried a little white bugger, I tried a larger black bugger, I tried an egg pattern, and I tried a scud. Nothing worked! I tried high sticking some runs, I tried indicator nymphing (which has worked for me before on the Donegal), all without success.
I love this sport, but I think I still have a lot to learn. Maybe it's my approach? Maybe I need to be more stealthy when approaching the stream? Hmm... maybe I'll wear some camouflage next time.
Also, do most of you folks fish the fly fishing only section off of Donegal Creek road? Is there a better section? As I walk away from 23 (upstream), the creek becomes a delayed harvest section, and I generally continue up there a ways then stop and head back down. Is it worth crossing 23 and fishing that section?
