One of My Favorites

I find myself saying that every time I describe Big Spring to anyone. This trip however, was the second choice, but with the Salmon River running at 1900 cfs, Jack and I decided to stay local. What better way to spend the day, than staring at huge wild trout, that wont eat? Can't say there is a better way, but Jack and I made it worth the trip, my next featured fly (coming soon) is stuck in the mouth of 2 monster rainbows. I managed a couple nice fish, mostly Brooke trout, which was awesome, and one nice rainbow. Jack, had a sportsman's release of a beautiful Rainbow, and then decided to feed a small (like 2 inches tops small) Brooke trout, to a hungry bigger Brooke trout. HAHA, it was crazy!

Big Spring - The 1st Trip

Monday it was decided that I would drive down to Big Spring, just south of Harrisburg, in Newville PA, meet up with Joey, and do some fishing. It was a great day, at the end we both decided it was the best day we had ever had thus far. The fish were there, and ready to eat just about anything we would send there way, scuds, peaking caddis, sculpin, PTs, Midges, GD's Cat Nip, and the list goes on. Joey and I each hooked one of the "monsters" huge fish that never eat, but we couldn't get them to hand. We had great success however with the larger fish 12-16 inches. It was awesome, a great way to start the new year!!!!
