5 yesterday and 5 today and they were all really nice. One thing's for sure, they're eating well.

Go to this thread

for help with the pictures.

For help titling your post in the Streams Report Forum and for information on what is desired to be in the report, read the stickies at the top of the forum.

Thanks, FI. This kind of report is really useless, even if pictures are added unless they will show the details of the weather, water conditions, insect activity or anything else that might help an angler currently or in the future should they search this creek for information.

Falling springs is a cool stream that doesn't receive much pressure and challenges anglers of all skill sets. Good job for the 5 and 5. Inform us of the bugs and tactics homie 😀 we're all willing to learn from your success 😉

Sorry for being vague with my report guys. Was out again today and missed 4 and landed 1 small bow on the upper reaches of the spring. Believe it or not but today around noon there were sulphurs in the air so that's what I used. The previous 2 days I switched back and forth from dropper and dry and indicator nymphing. I just use a tried and true bwo and it seems to catch a few most days. As far as the dropper, I'm having luck with the caddis type of stuff. I also use a little thing I call Mr.Spikey and another one I call The Hucklebuck. (is it crazy to name a home spun fly) I really don't use anything fancy and in all honesty my patterns are kinda bare bones.

Thanks, Wills. The thing to think about when writing a report is what kind of info would be helpful on two levels:

1. Helpful to angler contemplating a trip soon. The information helpful here would be hatches, water conditions, effective patterns and other information about the current situation with the stream in question.

2. Helpful to an angler researching the stream. Information about weather and water is still helpful to the extent they can be compared to present conditions, but hatch information and pattern information can be helpful when tied to the stream and date for many years to come.

The Stream Reports can be "sorted" and also "searched." In either case, for any particular stream, a researching can turn up all post about it and also, perhaps focus on time of year to get some advance knowledge of what to expect, and consequently make the angler that much more prepared to meet the water.

The "sort" function isn't working now for me, so I cannot show you the result, but I show you the way to use "sort" and also, below, I show the "Advanced Search" function and the results.

If we keep these functions in mind, it will guide us in presenting a useful report:
