I was on Deep Creek Tuesday.

Dammit, man ... you've got to stop following me around. ;-)

To give a little context: On Wednesday I hiked up to check out
Sam's Creek, a recently re-opened brook trout stream. I spent a
little time on the stream before I lost the trail, and I wasn't really
in the mood to rock-hop or bushwhack, so I started back down the trail
with the idea of heading to Tremont for a while.

As I was walking back down the trail I saw a group of 3 guys coming
up. And who was in that group but Mr. Wayne Knight. :-)

BTW, sorry I didn't make it to your barbeque on Thursday, but I was
gassed after my trip to Deep Creek and just hung around camp and took
it easy. (I did remember your cellphone number though. :-)

It was still running high and for the
most part you had to go subsurface to get any thing but I managed to
coax a couple of bows out of their lair with a well placed.....sulfur.

Heh. That was the ticket all week, wasn't it? :-) I caught my
first, last and practically every fish in between on a #16 para
sulfur.

Deep Creek is one of my favorites too but I doubt I've gone up it as
far as you probablly did. A couple of years ago I was going to go
farther than I ever had but as I walked by that big pool just pass the
foot bridge a hendrickson hatch was coming off and was followed by
sulfur and then a caddis emergence. By the time the hatches finished
it was starting to get dark.

I went about a 1/4 mile past the pool before heading back down to
check out some water I had bypassed on my way up. I'm guessing the
spot where I committed to the water is Baumgardners Bend; it's where
the trail heads up the mountain just after you round the bend past
that gorgeous pool. (Where there's a secondary trail on the left that
makes a little loop.) If I had to guess I'd say it's about 2.5 miles
up the trail from the traillhead.

BTW, I posted using Google groups and the urls for my pictures look
like they aren't wrapping correctly. Apologies, but just copy and
paste to see the photos.

So, how was the rest of your fishing? Did you stay through
Saturday? It was looking awfully foggy as I was leaving town.
