Was my main plan today. i woke up austin at 5:30am to get on the road. as i figured he would do, he slept the whole way there. we arrived at 9ish to a brutal cold wind. the ponds were white capped and i had a helluva time getting my fly more then 10ft or so. i figured i would give the nearby creek a try and hope the winds would die down cause i really wanted to hit this particular pond. i decided i would give the good looking water that the beavers had created a try. armed with a small purple egg sucking leech it didn't take long to start hitting fish. at first glance of these fish that i was missing/losing, i thought they were nice brook trout. i finally landed a couple and, at least the ones i did land, were browns in the 14" range. the beavers have really been busy over there and have made some real nice water. we left around 1:30 cause the wind had not let up and i was just to damn frustrated with it. i checked out some other waters on the way home to see how they were looking. everything right now is high so i think some other stillwaters our in order.

we've been battling the wind for the last week or so, really frustrating...good looking fish though!
there is nothing that pisses me off more then wind when it comes to fly fishing.
