Valley Creek, Chester Co., 4/25/2010

Did my favorite rainy day activity at Valley Creek from 6am -9am today - pound the banks and eddies with a black wooly bugger. It is the best time to catch some larger fish and today was great. Caught 6 browns and lost as many. The best thing, they were all 10" or larger with the biggest pushing 15". I think when the current is running strong due to rain those 6" browns that I catch alot of, can't hang and that leaves only the bigger trout to hit that bugger when it splats down at the bank. A fun morning.

Good work! I almost made it out to VC yesterday morning but had to settle for patio landscaping instead. ;^)

I like fishing VC when it has a little color and a little higher flow. You can get closer to the fish and the larger ones seem to move out more. With the rain this weekend it should be a good week for morning fishing.
