Nebo Creek--Day 2





Brian & I went back to try a different stretch of Nebo Creek today after checking out of the hotel and packing all our luggage and Stepahnie Lacy's electronic piano into the van. Natalie is still at organ camp all day and Heather and Simon were taking care of business they needed to accomplish. We went upstream to what ended up being about 50 yards downstream from where Page Fork breaks off.


We spent three hours fishing about 75 yards of water. Brian said we had over 50 fish landed--all German Brown trout today. Brian improved his finesse today very much, having discovered that a brown will usually only come toward a fly once--one chance. It was fun to watch them come to the fly. I was with a Renegade-no surprises there, and Brian fished an Irresistable all day. He became much more careful with it once I told him it was the last one I had. We had managed to lose a few flies into the tree branches.



It was a fun second day on the creek; we saw a different stretch of water without so m
any beaver dams; Brian was glad he went even though in the morning when we were heading there he wasn't sure he wanted to fish again.
