I started my day off at Pickering Creek. Got absolutely nothing :angry: but saw lots of rising fish. Took a lunch break and went out to lunch with my wife. I then headed off to French Creek. I was able to get one brown trout and one rainbow. Got them on Stonefly nymph and a green woolly bugger. Got a few big creek chub which got me excited thinking I got some big trout. Water was very high and cold due to the couple of feet of snow that melted this past week. Spring finally around the corner! Nice to get out and try to get my wading legs back.

My wife and mother-in-law went to see Leonard Cohen down at the Tower Theater. My wife and I saw him over the summer in Baltimore for his first tour in 15 years, I highly recommend seeing him. Anyways, I had a opportunity to take my father-in-law fishing so we headed to Pickering Creek for a couple of hours. We walked the stretch below and up stream from the bridge. Saw lots of fish, but there were not very active, probably due to the warm weather and sunny skies. I did manage to get 1 nice colorful rainbow on a salmon egg pattern. Nice quiet couple of hours fishing.

This was the first time I was able to try out my new Orvis Trout Bum rod.

I took an opportunity to fish this early Sat. AM. It was cold and had to deal with the ice flowing down the creek. The fish were extremely spooky. I parked midway and waded upstream past the one lane bridge and all the way down to the red covered bridge. Not many people were there until the early afternoon. Managed to get one real nice Rainbow on a San Juan worm.
