lititz run ( millport conservancy ), ___ Co., 3/6/2010

[jfetkin]

fished the conservancy this morning from 7 till around 11 ish. had a pretty good day if i must say so. water was a tad off color and a tad high but not enough to but the bows down. Caught all bows no browns today well one i think was a really nice brown but he spit the hook before i saw him. had a 3 bow that was over 20 for sure but he spit the hook before i got him in hand. But yeah im stoked after a good day on the water

Jay,

Just awesome bro! I tell everyone that Lititz Run is hard and i think you would agree. After i say its hard, I always tell the person to keep going. Everyone will have their day on that stream, its just a matter of time.

Great Fish with Good Colors! :-D Typical of Lititz Run Rainbows to have the bright bright red gill plate.

I wonder how Slaymaker made out in the C&R area today..........

Yeah I think it is his eye looking like a deer in headlights,,,lol
both fish were pretty strong and fought kinda hard for this time of year. By Gods grace and mercy this is only 1 of many more good days on this stream. I put a deposit on my new setup yesterday,,wooohoo can't wait to get it sage 8'6" zxl 3wt and a lamson purist reel.

I ran into CRS in the c&r area. Thought we were gonna get skunked at the big hole below the Thompson driveway (picture to follow). He worked his way downstream when we parted I wonder how he did.

I missed a couple with oversized scuds (all that I had), and landed one rainbow on an olive bugger. He was extremely fiesty and made a run up the fast riffles before I landed him and snapped a quick pic. It was tough hitting the holes after the spin fishermen worked their way though in front of me but I was able to hook up.
I'll post pics tonight...

Does anyone have directions to lititz run? I've been doing some research, but can't seem to find where this is located. Is this stream class A wild trout water, or are these fish stocked?

 

[jfetkin]

this section is stocked water but is private and you must be a donegal trout unlimited member and have a button from the millport conservancy or donegal TU in order to fish this section. However the lower section is special regs but open water. Its catch and release, artifficial only, and barbless only. its along creek rd

[jfetkin]

You know what I think that could be the same bow I caught in the second pic,, correct me but it looks like the S bend down from the first parking spot

 

[earidgeway]
