ill start this off with a pic or 2 so you understand what i mean by a small stream, if you look above the rocks on the left you can just make out my ball cap hanging from the branches
went down to hardscrable creek to tossa few flies yesterday afternoon in the light rain/overcast as you can see not much room to work a long rod but it paid off in a batch of lil brookies was fishing with a foam ant and a phesant tail dropper got the first on the ant
thne one on the dropper
after a fish or too from each pool
on the long rod i would work a small panther and a pistole pete thru for a few more, in the end i got about a dozen brookies and 3 rainbows 1 of the bows and 1 brookie were over 11 inches and they went back along with the 2 small bows i kept about 1/2 dozen (under 8") for breakfast and they went real good with some eggs nd hashbrowns.
after the last pool the sun was fading with a light sprinkle so i sat back on the bank munching on some wild plums and just let it all sink in
life is good!
