Met up with Sam and headed further East to Little Mahoning, first time on this stream. Water was gorgeous, barely saw another fisherman the whole morning.
Saw lots of Stone Flies coming off, but nothing rising.
Sam put on a clinic with buggers and some nymphs.
I later managed this gorgeous Brookie on streamer and Brown shortly afterwards before we headed back to the car.
Stopped for some Subway before heading to the next spot. Dredged streamers hoping to find some big brown trout. Hooked into this pre-spawn Smallmouth Bass instead!
Blue Wing Olives were coming off everywhere. We moved to a different section, fished our streamers until we noticed a few boils in the water. Finally we had spotted some rising fish. I fished a BWO dry to a rising fish. After a few drifts the Brown smashed my offering. Very rewarding to match a hatch and fish to a rising fish! Sam landed a couple, and I landed another to finish off very satisfying day of fishing.
Hiked out, was home before dark.
Happy Easter
