Fished the fly fishing only section of the Perkie and was impressed with the number of wild browns caught. County fish are also there, but only caught them at the dam.

Please read the guidelines for a Stream report:

air temps were in the 70s, didn't see many bugs but a few black caddis. saw two fish rise down by the rock outcrop, but didn't bother to switch to dries. Fished bead head caddis nymphs and larger stones fly nymphs. water was little off color and up a bit. Must have flooded pretty good from the rains the other day - I found a carp in a puddle about 30' from the stream on the walk back to the car. picked him up and put him back in the stream, swam right away.

Thanks. So there are carp to be had in the main channel?

 

[skiltonian]

big ones and easy to spot in the summer

Has anyone fished upstream from the dam lately?
