Went on a all day fish out today. Started at W Valley fishing numerous spots. Never fished the sections of the streams i did. It was very tight quarters and very wild mountainous like in some parts.

Found a few fish in a few different pockets and pools. Including one brown that had to be a holdover. He started to have a nice hook jaw. Picture doesn't show it too well.

Then hit up the brandywine. Only fished one pool for a few big fish that were left. Had one on for half a fight and he threw the hook. Also rolled one more out of the three. Got a few small guys to hit then i headed out.

Arrived at darby creek probably 4pm. Found fish in a few pools. Got a few on streamers and others on nymphs.

Seen big yellow mayflies on all 3 streams. Nothing rising consistently though.

And i hope for the sake of the fish in the last picture there isnt a hook attatched to the other end of that line, lol.

Wow, the water looks extremely low in that first picture. Tough fishing when the stream's like that. Very nice brown!
