Primrose Brook

After several outings, trying for multiple different species in multiple different rivers and lakes, I'm finally on the board again. I've probably toughed out 7 cold, winter days since the last rainbow I caught in early January, going for pike, pickerel, bass, panfish, and trout. Very happy with these 2 little brook trout. Primrose Brook is doing well, I probably saw around 30 brookies. I caught the first one on a little olive wooly bugger, and the second one on a tiny blue zebra midge. These are also the first fish I caught on my new 3 weight fly rod. Hopefully I will have more success in February.

Caught 2 nice little brookies yesterday. Took advantage of the warm weather when it was here. Tried fly fishing again, to no avail, but I caught these with a little jig and a plastic worm. Saw about 4 different fish take it but I was too slow. Probably could have caught more too, but the biggest pool, a deep, slow moving section caused by a giant tree blockage was ruined by a group of hubdreds of starlings. It sounded like thunder when they flew at the same time. I'm just happy I caught some fish. I'll probably try fly fishing when the fish are more active and it's easier.
