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.

  2. 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. =)

  10. 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!
