A Quick Update to Yesterday’s Post

I headed out to see if there were any Shad in the river yet, did not see any or Stripers but loads of Brook Trout.

A small hatch of Black Stoneflies happened about a half-hour after I arrived.

I of course was rigged for Shad, sinking tip and all; but lengthened my leader and put on a Muddler Minnow.

It did not come close to matching the hatch but it was just the ticket, had a ball for a few hours with small Brook Trout.

Saw some enormous Deer tracks on the way out that were not there on my way in. I would sure have liked to get a look at that Deer; it must have been a brute.

Quite a contrast to the advance of spring here as opposed to Cape Breton.
Saw a few wild flowers and Pussy Willows. No snow in the woods.
