Welcome to FlyFishers first steam report for the 2007 Fishing season.

Stream:Sandy Lick/Near 5 Mile Creek/ 4/14/2007/Water Temp 37 degrees

There was 3 of us fishing and the bite was slow.  We got there after fishing the West Branch of the Clarion near Johnsonburgh.  
We started fishing right around 12:00.  We fished using various streamers and nymphs and managed to catch 7 trout between the three of us.  I only know what I carught my trout on I was using a few of my own nymphs that really are not named but they work.  One I call a hanzy special and it can be a killer on early season trout of all species.  
All of the fish caught were nice sized so kudos to the Fish Commission for that but it seemed like a lot less trout were stocked a lot less than 20%.  But once the water warms up I think that my idea there my change.

On a side note we did keep the trout for our annual first fish fry.
Here is a list of what i found in them that was natural food sources

1: Beatis Numphs
2: Minnows
3: Cased Caddis Nymphs
4: Helgramite
5: Golden Stone
6: March Brown Nymph (wasn't Much left of it so this is my guess)

Good Luck to all also there should be a lot of these so here is a question for you all do you want them all in one thread or one for each time out fishing?  There will be other streams added as I fish them.

thanks, keep'em coming.
