A November Stream



A small stream on this November day, crisp, clear and full of wild brookies. I believe that most of the spawning has taken place just by the way these trout were attacking the fly being offered, attempting to feed heavy before the winter sets in. I fished a Royal Wulff and they were very aggressive as the fly moved along the runs and into the pools. I love fishing this time of year.

A beautiful sight along the stream, Christmas Ferns, their bright green pushing through the dead leaves.

This pool brought several brookies up to the surface, as the Royal Wulff drifted by.

A few jewels from this November stream.

    Sometimes you just don't need "big" water.

    Very nice. The snow will be here before we know it. As for me and winter, the older I get, the more I believe i live in the wrong state. =)

    Since I'm so new to fly fishing, i never knew you could find fish in such a small stream! That opens up so many possibilities!
