| A warm, sunny morning on the Wissy. |
Without some rain soon, the Wissy is going to be too warm
in no time. I took a temp reading today
of 61 degrees, and overnight air temps are barely dropping below 55 degrees. Bass, carp, sunfish, rock bass, and trout
were all active today, although there were no hatches like last week after the showers
and clouds. I brought the fly rod down
to the creek for a little more than two hours, and I had some success on both
the caddis larvae and the size 20 pheasant tail dropper. With high sun (I was fishing from 10 to
noon-ish) the fish were not feeding aggressively, but that gave me a chance to
dredge up some finicky, pressured fish before I headed in to work.

I targeted a few deep, braided holes, and they all held at
least a couple fish. I also had a few bonus fish that came from isolated runs and pockets as I walked to the next spot. No other anglers
were out, just dog walkers and joggers, but I am sure the fish got hammered
over the beautiful weekend, especially since it was stocked on April 12. I ended up getting 8 trout and dropping a
couple others who probably took the very small pt. I also landed a few bass and other
panfish. None of the trout was very big
or very small, just average. I caught no
browns today either. It was the browns
who were on the olives and midges and the odd caddis last week, so maybe they
are feeding early and late. The
creek gets one more stocking, but there are plenty left in there. I just hope it rains, so I have a chance at
them in May and beyond.
