Well I got out today and fished a blueline that I haven't visited in a while. Water levels were perfect, and the bug activity was the most I've ever seen there. However, although the bugs were hatching and fluttering; caddis, BWO's, stoneflies, and the long awaited Quill Gordons, the fish didn't seem to take much notice on the surface. So I figured "Safe Bug Creek" was a good name for this stream today, atleast for the time being. I think we're still a coupla weeks away from the killer spring fishing with dries. All my fish came on nymphs. I probably could have caught more fish if I hadn't been so determined to fish dry flies. It was hard not to fish a dry with the Quill Gordons and BWOs popping off. Plus, I found out I was fishing behind somebody too. Oh well.

This is one of the prettiest brown trout I've ever caught. Simply stunning.

Where is this creek at? Can't find it on a map. Were you really fishing here somewhere in GA? You'll have to take me there one of these days.

Nice lil'fishes. Liked the brown, pretty.

Since the Quill Gorgons were hatching, I'm wondering if the Adams were hatching too? ::ke:

C'mon. I knew that. The Adams joke just tickles me. If you look at a Quil Gorgon directly in the eye, it will turn you into a Stonefly.

Nice brown indeed! I don't know that I've ever seen a brown that size that still had par markings- good genes I guess?
