I arrived at the stream by 9:00 AM, and the water was high but clear. I parked at the state game lands parking lot and hiked down Forgedale Road, until I saw a yellow posted sign, and here I entered the stream and began fishing upstream. I tied on a yellow Letort hopper with a beadhead hares ear dropper. It did not take long, before I started catching browns, some in the eleven to twelve inch range, and this surprised me.

Decent Brown

I prospected all the likely runs and pockets, and I ended my fishing at around 1:30PM in order to get back to Mom and Dad’s to take them to Cabela’s. I stopped just short of the deep hole referred to as The Rocks. I was quite pleased to land twenty-three trout, all browns. Five net dwellers took the hopper on top, and the remainder grabbed the beadhead hares ear nymph.

Fish Landed: 23
