Trico time on Spring Creek

As the fish on Bald Eagle become more and more aware of the fly guys floating fake imitations and the trout getting stung from them they get really picky. Took a couple of browns below the Milesburg bridge on Friday but they were really tough to deal with, so ok let's go see where we can find some. Drove up Spring Creek looking for rising fish, well I found them. Just above where Logan Branch comes into Spring there is a very small park on the Bellefonte side of Spring, they were stacked up and rising well, took the rod out of the car and put my chest pack back on and waded in, took one at the tail out on the first cast, they were just rising everywhere on both banks, either caught them or missed them. the fish on the park side are always the good ones and they are in about 10" of water with not much current- tough but fun to try to get them to eat, no hitting them on the head here. Fished all the way up to where the creek takes a turn to the right in the thick cover, some really nice 14" fish but most of them were 6" to 10" guys but the rise rhythm was just to good to pass up, really nice head and tail rises something to remember. I have not fished this one section in a few years and may not for another few years, it has been hit or miss but when it is on it is really good as is the area just below this big pool, it can be a great pool for beetles! Just a wonderful day on the water, can't wait to do it again this Friday but at another location.
