This morning started out in the mid-teens so we waited until 11am to hit the water. With temps in the low 20's and a stiff wind, we didn't expect too much action. We were dead on... with only 6 fish between us for the day.

Today, we took a trip out to one of our favorite DHALO waters. This a beautiful stream that gets very little fishing pressure after the stockings. There are wild brown and brook trout but the state stocks rainbows in the spring and in the fall.  As of this past fall, the PFBC will not longer stock this stream in the fall. A few browns and plenty of hold0ver rainbows all fell for floro orange an pink power worms.

A few browns in a few hours on one of our favorite limestoners. Nothing over 14" today. All fish hit a flourescent orange power worm on the pin.
