Headed out about lunch time with both my rods to hit the brook i caught couple bows in last time out, I fished the brook hard and got to see some nice fish swimming around but nothing doing i tried 2nd hole in the woods for a good 3 hours and only caught small chub and small shinner on top water and fished it hard until about 6,  wife comming at 7 i decided to break out the long stick and fish the inlet to the pond,  water was moving good and on my 3rd cast with streamer i was on nice fat dark colored bow with some nice colors released to fight another day , when i set hook and had it on i hear "NICE" from behind me young man maybe 12 was happy to see me get one scared the bajeeezes out of me didn't see anyone when i got there LOL,  anywho talked with him told him to try a rapala and shinny stuff that looks like shinners he didn't catch any while i was there i ended up with 3,  i switched to nymphs and was on 2 in a row, one of the flies theron tied and gave me i was happy,  i could have prob caught more but had to get going home to make dinner great few hours on the water .....

i was a little bummed i used my 3 wt the whole time 4 plus hours at brook figured casting off the beach throwing some bigger streamers i would go with the big stick... was nice to catch some fish ...... i scoped out a spot at same place i can get to with my waders and fish the 3wt drop the nymph right on there heads i will be go back soon ...

Too bad about your fish he must have wanted it more then you thought you wanted it 

Nice story Ziggy.  As for Koda and Dave, those sound like tall tails to me.

If you fish in the city proper, they don't have mink & turtles. Lee needs to get out in the wilds and fish
