I went today with my mountain bike, fly rod, and a box of flies to one of my favorite native brook trout streams. This kind of fishing reminds me of just how beautiful little mountain stream brook trout are and just how annoying gnats can be. I hooked about 40 fish but only managed to bring about 15 or so to hand. They voraciously attacked my flies and one fish even totally cleared the water while smashing a size 12 royal wulff which was pretty damn cool. All fish were caught on a royal wulff or a foam beetle. One of them was a very nice fish for the stream and considerably larger than the others. I also managed to catch about 30 gnats in my eyes and at times audibly curse at how frustrated I was with those little suckers.
I love this stream and I imagine that it sees virtually no pressure due to the fact that isn't a road that really runs its length. I could be wrong, but either way it is polluted with Brook Trout.
