Pickering Creek Chester 10-6-09

Arrived at 2pm just to see about 6 parks parked at the bridge. Moved down to the next pulloff and fished the riffles. While picking up a fish i then noticed another gentleman fly fishing and putting his fish on a stringer. Thats pretty cool, seeing i wait months for the fall stocking of this creek to enjoy a couple weeks of fall and winter fishing just to have him killing fish only a week after the stocking. So i moved down to the railroad bridge and hooked a few more in an hour.

All fish were hooked on generic nymph patterns and were all rather difficult to catch. They were very hesitant to hit. Which i guess makes sense seeing they've probably been hooked 50 times in the past week.

He waited months for a trout dinner.

Oh, i didnt think about it that way. Maybe ill go target some a couple dhalo streams to get myself a trout dinner. Sounds reasonable, screw the rules im hungry.

 

[scotto]

Didn't realize he was breaking the rules. Not familiar with Pickering. If this is a C&R or DHALO, I am totally against his actions, if it is OPEN water, his actions are fine. I have got no problem with people keeping fish by the rules, especially stockers.

I see, well sorry for snapping out at you. I didint realize you wouldnt of noticed it was a dhalo. I just get rather annoyed when i see people doing this.

 

[scotto]

No problem. My thinking is obey the rules and you will be OK.

 

[PennsCreek]

Most importantly, did you say anything to him??

 

[mute]

Yes, he just nod'd and continued fishing. But i did take his picture putting the fish on the stringer and his vehicle. I also notified the wco about it.

You may have to change your nickname...good for you.

mute, I fished the ATW water yesterday and caught a half dozen fish in about 4 hours. I agree they were tough and, coincidentally, they all took generic patterns (hare's ears and BHPTs). Most were browns, one bow.
