After the fishing the Upper Tully life was as it should be....on the road to another trout stream, Wyomissing Creek.

While on the road i called Spectorfly, who promptly told me he broke the first 6 inches of his road tip off. Both I and he thought he was going to leave and then he started catching wild browns on it while i was talking to him. We missed the exit and thats sad cause i know where i was going.

Once there we parked at the top end of the class a water. The section i wanted to fish was half way in the section.....1.25 miles away. It was like 11:30 am now........*Note this is an area that has a bathroom (for later reference).

Immediately after we met my brother it didnt long for take Slay to get into his first fish. First cast into that hole. We were using the same rig. If it aint broke dont fix it!


Refer to here for rig

This isnt a Limestone Spring Creek, so there isnt as many shrimp .These are wild browns but as any fish they like flashy things and are stupid 😛 After a long drought i started hooking up. We fished the whole way down past the end of the class a water. Though i know from fishing down to the sewer plant, they are there also. We also used the same 4 flies all day...neither of us had lost a rig. Eric was using a BH Olive Bugger. In all we lost count.....i know i was over 14 eric the same and slay the same. Only one out of 4 stockers landed. There isnt as many stockers left from the derby as there was last year. This made the wild trout fishing on a scale of Excellent. Hey Slay im going to quote you on the phone.....

"Theres kids screaming and playing basketball blasting Dave Mathews Band and were cathing wild brown trout. Its Awesome!"
:lol:


There were bugs.....lots of midges.

Also a Note: To the people of the park. Yes we are fishing, yes there is fish in the stream and Yes they are wild browns.

Hungry and tired by now.....
the car so far away(3 miles....) and im so hungry......

Answer:

Stream side Delivery! Thank you to the Wyomissing Dominos For being good sports and bringing the pizza and coke! U guys rock!

We fished on the way back....hitting holes we missed fish in. We caught a bit few more. Then i had to use the bathroom. I hadent all day...this isnt going to be good.

There isnt another bathroom except the one 1.5 miles away. I finally got there and the darn thing is on the other side of a 10 foot fence. Apologies to the Wymossing Parks Dept....for me clearing your fence, ripping my jeans bad on them and using it ;-) The alternative wasent going to be very good. :lol:

Excellent day of fishing...im good for a bit ;-) Though i think me and Slay might hit another local wild trout stream this week for an hour or 2. I told ya you would start to love the wild trout fishing man!

As always heres just my pics. Slay and Eric took a few. Enjoy! A few of these wild browns are just beautiful.

Sal called me right after he posted this and I was in the middle of uploading my pics to my myspace page so they are up to enjoy.

Yes, I broke 6 inches of the tip off my rod while I was just pulling out line to hook the bugger onto the hook keeper. I was ticked. Must have been a hairline crack in it. I'll use my wife's fly rod (same model) until I get a replacement tip section or buy a new 6'6" 2wt at Cabela's. $90.00 for the rod w/ a 25 year unconditional guarantee.

Between the 3 of us I think we picked up 15 just from the Reading Museum down to the pool/basketball court area.

I am boarderline diabetic and on the way back, hungery and starting to shake it hit me, I have a Blackberry, it has internet. Duh, look up a Domino's in Reading and have it delivered. One large pepperoni and sausage and a cold 2 liter bottle of Coke delivered to the intersection of Seventh Avenue and Parkside Drive. (across the stream is the Reading museum and on the otherside in the ambulance entrance to the Reading Hospital). I thought about asking the delivery driver to also drive us back to the truck for an extra $10 tip.
I saved the # in my phone under Domino's Streamside Delivery.

I also got a pic of spiderman.....I mean Brian climbing that fence. Don't Ka-Ka where you num-num.

pics are

I just realized im holding those few wild browns i posted like Maurice :lol:
