May Brown
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…
