December 21: Solstice Trout

Trout fishing has been less frequent this year. But very good wild trout. But not many stocked trout. Mostly because I haven't fished for stocked trout much and the saltwater was too much fun through November.

Yesterday I needed to go trout fiishing, and the freshet had ended --  with the possibility that the fish got washed down and moved around so that te good pools--which had gone empty from fishing pressure -- might have fish again.

I also tied a new fly--well same as the black one but in red/black lite brite.

Hey, with one split shot it did the trick in 10 minutes.
