Valley Creek Chester County 1/13/13

[Love2fish]

Got out yesterday afternoon from about 1:30-4:00 with my wife for some much needed alone time. It was her 2nd trip for trout with a fly rod and only 3rd time overall FFing. As usual she tried to show me up and caught her first trout with a white bead head bugger. We made a move to an area we never fished before and I made a cast under a fallen tree with another white bugger and was rewarded nicely for braving a difficult cast! Saw a fair amount of guys out which meant we where leap frogging around but first fish of the year is in the books for both of us and I think there is another streamer addict the way hers slammed the fly!!! The picture with the net is her fish the other is mine.

Great report. I was tempted to get out on Sunday, but once again could not find the time.

Hi there
Could I bother you guys for some insight? I went out last week looking for some deeper water for some winter fishing and got majorly skunked.

I parked near Mill Road and walked around Little Valley Creek down to the ball park. Also on Valley Creek up to the Apartment buildings.

A PM or suggestion of some good winter holding pools would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Mike

Nice fish.

Fish hold throughout the entire stream... it just slows down drastically when water temps drop.
