May Brown

0

Well the first week of May is here and I finally slipped out of the house last night to get some fishing in before dark.  I went down to Irondequoit Creek just in time for the evening hatch.  There were midges, mays, and dark caddis coming off.  I almost never see the fish on Irondequoit creek feed on the surface but tonight they were.  I put on a size 16 elks hair caddis and a beadhead pheasant tail dropper.  My nymph got caught up on the bottom right away so I switched to the just the caddis.  Although my caddis fly was much lighter than what was hatching the fish started striking it right away.  I ended up catching this small but feisty brown and had a couple more on.  One was a 15″ brown that I played four about a minute until he got off.  I think I will go back this week and see if I can pull him out of his hole.  Stay tuned…
