October 17th, 2012 I visited Spruce Creek for the first time in about three weeks and had a great time hooking into a few good rainbow trout. It was a beautiful day and the wind was extremely calm which allowed for a tangle free nymphing day. A few days earlier, I went to another stream and the wind was blowing hard and it seemed like every other cast I was hooking into fallen leaves that were getting swept down the stream. I can only imagine the difficulty that the fish were having seeing any type of aquatic insect to feed on. Both days produced a nice tan caddis hatch but the only time that I saw fish feeding on top was on Spruce Creek where there was minimal debris in the water.
Below are a few photographs posted from my recent trip to Spruce Creek! I hooked into a much larger rainbow that took me under two branches and snapped me off. Life will go on!
Enjoy!
