After seeing how the creek was running this afternoon on my lunch hour I got really excited. Volume was way up and the water had the clarity of weakly brewed coffee. The second half of work dragged but I managed to get into the creek around 5:30. I fished a #14 BH hare's ear as an anchor with a #14 Flashbach Copper John as my dropper. The results are below.
Nubby bow, but a great leaper and not bad looking either

This bow came out of the same pocket

Upstream about 10 feet produced these:

When I hooked this guy I thought he was a baby, then he tore off downstream and about bent my TFO in half. Best fighter of the day

Rubberlips, I caught this guy in the riffles where your buddy lives. I don't think this is him, that fish was a little bigger.

I have to say, this was my best day ever with a fly rod in my hand. I lost only one fish, and actually caught 2 othesr that I didn't get pics of. All but the 2 bows pictured were wild fish. Its gonna be hard getting to sleep tonight.
