Thursday I joined other TU members from Spring Creek & Lloyd Wilson chapters of TU and some local people just wanting to help pack fish food for TU's Trout in the Classroom, wow what an experience! We packed over 800 bags that will be shipped with the eggs next week for the class rooms to incubate and raise them to fingerling size then release them into an approved Brook Trout stream, it was cold,damp and stinky but worth it. I am amazed at how they get so much member participation in their projects, women, students and their use of a web page, Face book and general can do attitude gets people out, I'm one of them and love it.
Fished Spring that afternoon and again found no one around but did fine BWO's and feeding fish, the Olives were very dark red brown and the males had big dark red eyes- they looked like a Halloween decoration! I fished the hole below the 550 Bridge (it's the first one that is not on private land), starting at the bottom and working upstream at a slow pace because they have not had a good hard flood rain yet- the mud and leaves are knee deep and it is a bitch to wade in it but it made me slow down, took a ton of fish there and move to Rock Road and saw the same thing hatching. A wonderful day and to top it off I got to spend the night helping my Granddaughter go Halloween, can't get much better!
