Dry Run Delight

After a bit of a break for lunch, we're back to the stream, and Nathaniel is trying to coax a bite from a big one with an XCalibur Twitch Bait. Dry Run Creek has some seriously big trout in it, and a few have given chase already.
A special regs stream that's open only to youth and disabled anglers only for catch and release fishing with single-hook barbless hooks, Dry Run is an absolute gem for young anglers. It stays loaded with trout, including a bunch of big ones.
Nathaniel loves to fish here, and I value the opportunity to gather a lot of trout photos.
The fish wouldn't quite commit to the Twitch Bait, so he's back to throwing a Watsit Grub. Oh! Trout on. I'd better run!

Watsit Wear-Out

Nathaniel has put on a show this afternoon,  catching a bunch of trout, including a few big ones. His two biggest browns -- one absurdly fat and one long and lean -- both probably pushed close to 4 pounds. He's also caught a couple of spectacular-colored rainbows that probably weighed about 3 pounds.
He's caught all his fish on a Lindy Watsit Grub, although he just switched to a Twitch Bait and is fishing a big-fish hole.
Although I'd love to cast into these fish-filled runs, it really is fun watching Nathaniel approach and work them and be rewarded when his approach is good and the fish choose to cooperate.
