This is a nice rainbow Al got a couple of winters ago. This is when the creek is at its best for us to fish, uncrowded, cooperative fish, and the beauty of the valley.
Stocking the stream
This is a rainbow we stocked this past winter. Steve has stocked this creek so very well this past year, making the fishing there the best I have encountered anywhere, and I mean, anywhere. I am hoping the fish are going to be ok with the hot weather we are experiencing this July/August.
An opening day palamino
Since I have a tiger, bow, etc on the blog I thought I would put a picture of a palamino I caught on the opening day. This was one of 4 palaminos I caught that day on a little stream outside of Brookeville. This one fell for a green weenie. It was a truly memorable opening day.
Check out this carp
I recommend a large arbor reel with a good drag to tackle a fish of this size.
A Yellow Creek Tiger
This tiger was caught on an egg pattern. The distance from my butt cap to the cork is 11″. One day a new guy to the club threw a jointed rapala into the same spot. I witnessed a really large brown take the lure and bust his 8# test line like it was kite string and swim off with the plug in his mouth. What a fish! I would guess the length of that fish to push 30″.
