Posted 07/06/2007 02:57:11 PM | | I used another vacation day today and went to Redbank to the not so secret hole. I was there before 6 am. I figured that after the rain we've had and fishing mid-week would be good. As soon as I got there I saw a big Palamino that is about the same size as the one I caught recently. This one wouldn't bite though. In fact nothing wanted to bite. I caught two in two hours. That was rather discouraging.
I was by myself today and decided to try some place different. I had heard of guys catching trout on North Fork below the spillway just above Mike's Comet Market in Brookville so I decided to check it out. The place is full of trout. I stayed there about four hours and caught 41. No, I'm not kidding. I caught all of them on nightcrawler halves. Another guy came after me and said that he had caught a bunch earlier in the morning. He proceeded to catch some more. He was using wet flies. Eventually I ran out of crawlers and the fish had slowed down anyway. I bought more crawlers at the Ace Hardware across the street. Mighty handy that is.
I finished up the day below the Iowa Bridge. I caught five more there which brought me up to 48 on the day. I probably could have got to fifty if I really felt like plugging away but it was getting hot outside and the flies were buzzing around me so I left.
We still need more rain. The creeks hardly look any different than they did before the rain we got.
