Ridley Creek, Del Co. 4/24/2011

[Van_Cleaver]

Fished for an hour and a half on the upper section, starting a little after 11. Weather was sunny and seventies; water up a little with a hint of a tinge. Lots of midges and some caddis (tan) and a couple risers. I fooled with one for a bit, and managed to miss him twice. I then went back to business and fished down with a beadhead caddis pupa. The fish are geting smarter, bit I still mananged half a doz. brookies, mostly in fast pockets. Also, a couple rainbows and one very nicely colored brown. Luckily for the fish I had family obligations, so I had to go. Amazing how much better this stream fishes when it has a good flow. Maybe we'll get lucky and get another thunderstorm tonight.

Nice report. Just out of curiousity, who stocks the brooks in Ridley (local trout club?). I fish Ridley only a couple of times a year mostly for the scenery (the hills, the girls jogging on the path, and watching the Powerbait Pros tangle lines trying to fish the same pool). Plus there are some decent and colorful rainbows in there.

As far as I know, the brookies are stocked by a local club, Delco Anglers. You can buy bottons that support them at The Sporting Gentleman in Media.
