So I went and fished up near the spring this past weekend and had no success. So on my way home I decided to just stop in the campgrounds and fish a bit and caught a couple. So I went back the next day and caught about 10 fish in an hour. 1 Brown, a few rainbows, and mostly white. All of these were caught nymphing.
So last night I went back a third time because I was having good success and since I'm new to fly fishing, I just enjoy catching fish. The fish started to really rise and so I fished drys for my first time because last year I only nymphed because of the high water. I also just started tying flies and put on a fly I had tied the day before, a kind of adams/BWO cross, and I caught a 16 inch rainbow. I didn't know they were that big at the campground. It was really neat to see a fish that size rise and hit a fly I had tied myself. Just thought I'd share the experience.
