Morgan Run this morning...
Went over to Morgan Run this morning for a few hours. Managed to hook into
one Brown (8-10" over twice the width of my hand) with a really ugly/generic
wool nymph I tied a couple months back, and that was it. No complaints, I am
thoroughly happy with the outcome of the morning. Nice to be alone on the
stream. I probably spent more time scaring em off then anything else. Gotta
work on the whole "stealth" concept a bit more. I am having difficulty
figuring out how to approach so as not to spook the fish. First time at this
stream and I like the big rocks, pools and riffles there. I however, have
come to the revelation, that waders and boots are in my future. Wet wading
or my Wellingtons are my only options right now but I think x-mas will bring
me the proper equipment. Until then I'll just have to tread lightly and make
sure my feet are planted firmly. Spent most of the time North of the Klee
Mill Rd. bridge. Figures the only fish I caught was about 50ft. South of the
bridge...heh.Was getting hungry so I packed-up and headed home. Next time
I'll have to bring something along to keep the ol' appetite at bay.
Usually I get frustrated and go home a couple hours into it. My arm was
starting to get a little sore but It was all worth it once I felt the line
tighten up (and it wasn't a snag) on that Brownie...Awesome!
Tight lines!
