| My guide, Cooper, helping me spot rising fish. |
Went after work with Spence and Cooper. It was a hot day and the water was already pretty low. I started out above the covered bridge and hit the first couple runs. I picked up a a few cookie cutter rainbows on a Frenchie nymph as well as a bunch of chubs. Most of them were horned chubs. I have no clue how or why horns grow on these chubs, but their nasty. I got sick of catch those so I moved, and I think they followed me. I caught a few more trout, all on nymphs. There were a couple sporadic rises, but no consistent top water action. The algae was pretty bad for this time of year already and it made nymphing really annoying. We fished a couple hours and then headed home. I probably wont fish this stream again until the water level is up or I try to time the brown drake hatch. Its definitely no blue-ribbon stream, but its a relatively close Pittsburgh option.
