After a long day of lawn work, I took off for the Cacoosing Creek. It is a small trib to the Tulpehocken and it runs through a small park in Spring Township (where I live). Anywho, they had a kiddy rodeo yesterday and I really didn't want to end my weekend end with a skunked day on the Tully yesterday, so I went.
I felt like I was making really good drifts with my nymphs but all I was catching was chubs. I really wanted to catch a big stupid stocked trout and no go. BUT (the point of the topic.) was I surprised when I landed a 10" wild brown trout. It is so nice to see some natural reproduction in a stream that is usually chalked up to be treated as a second rate put and take. (and, not to mention only 2 miles from my house.)
