Donegal creek FFO sec. 10/20/09

[bassistjon112]

I started fishing at the beginning of the section at 11 am not catching any thing. The water was murky but not bad, I was fishing white wooly bugger for awhile but then half way up the stream I lost and decided to put one of my special flies that Ill call the brookie killer(its a attractor fly). I was sitting on a log in the middle of the stream and just threw the fly in and as soon as I did that I caught my first brown of the day. I tried that fly for awhile all the way up stream then decided to add a BH hares ear nymph while using the brookie killer as a strike indicator. The BH got so many strikes I couldn't keep up with them. I only landed two small browns on it though I hooked into some good fish but they proved to be smarter than me. (LDR).

I told ya' they were in there Jon... ;-) It's also not uncommon to catch chubs topwater in that creek as well. I landed a few last time I was out.

Glad to hear you got on some fish!
