I took a day off from work and decided to go north and west for the day in search of some new water and possible brook trout. With the summer off to a hot start and low warm water, it was a risky trip. I started my day at Bear Creek in Schuylkill County. The water was extremely murky color. I was not able to locate any brook trout.

Decided to work my way down to Tulpehocken Creek. The water was still cloudy but I was able to see some trout. I did not have any success on dries or nymphing. I did get an 18 inch Carp that broken my line after a few minutes of carefully trying to bring him in.

Both waters were extremely warm.

Weather: Sun, 80s
Water Temperature: Unknown, but very warm
