OK got to Bald Eagle and of course had to pee as soon as I go to the stream bank, wow rising fish. Look there is one of course I was too fast but he would still come up and look at it but not take, dam wish I had another rod with me rigged with a small PT and a New Zeland strike ind. or a buddy along with another rigged rod. All in all I landed 4 really great trout from 16 to 18", two browns that jumped out of the water and ran great, two rainbows ( 1 with marks in her mouth) the other one under a tree just sipping. Had two other really good fish on that I could not hold (using a Scott 8'8" light #2), they ran straight to the other side under junk- not their first rodeo. Had other fish come up and just either refuse my fly or not complete the eating process- you know how that is- how did I miss that! One of the really good browns was in water that's about 7" deep and just picking Trico's off as they came down. I saw a lot of other fish taking small lt. tan caddis off the top or just under the surface! Sure makes we want to try and carry another loaded rod with me because a "2" weight can only do so much. Yes I could use another heavier rod but that Scott 2 is just a dream to catch large fish on. a caddis with a suspended emerger would have really came in handy, a bubble back adult with a nice organzia tan caddis emerger!! Did try an ant but ZERO, no one even looked at it. Bald Eagle is nice because you can get your self even with the trout and watch what they do as your offering comes to them maybe that's why I miss some, just can't hold myself back.
All in all a really good day. The boys at Paradise said they had a good Trico spinner fall in the project, they are there every day!
I think Penn's is still just might be a bit too warm yet.
