We are now, slowly, working our way toward the back end of
summer. And just like this spring, the constant rain has kept our streams
running high and cool.
Once again, we look for little weather windows of opportunity
to put fly too water.
The fishing, in-between all the rain, has been really good.
At least for this group of anglers as we did our best to find some willing warm
water fish in the early part of the summer.
Black creek continues to be one of our best locations to catch fish on a fly! Even
when we have fished it during high and stained water.
Its close proximity, easy access, easy wading, variety of
fish species and numbers of fish make it an easy choice for us as a family. Mix
in the potential for a few really good sized fish here and there and you can
understand why it is one of our “go to” places to fish.
We caught plenty of sunfish, blue gill, crappie, rock bass,
smallmouth and largemouth bass. And when you add in the occasional carp, it
made for a few really great days on the water.

Our panfish and small bass where caught on olive nymphs and
small buggers, while most of the larger fish ate the many streamer variations
we worked along the bottom and actively fished through the faster water.
It’s been a few weeks since our last fishing excursion, and
we are eager to get back out there. Hopefully we can get out again soon.....that
is, if we can find a little weather window.
See you on the stream!
