Headed up to lytle creek sunday morning around 10am. Was very warm and sunny compared down in the valley.
Went to my usual places first did not see any fish rising and no bites on the dry Wulff pattern I tied. So I proceeded up the creek to the next area. Finally saw a fish splash before i even tossed in the fly. Worked that spot for few minutes and no fish. Headed upstream and finally got one to bite but off before in hand. 4 more fish hooked but not landed. Finally got 1 in hand and released

Then after that session decided to drive to another local Stream
The traffice was bumper to bumper on the road up to the spot. So i decided to fish the lower area after waiting for the crowds to leave.
Fished all the pools ( 13 of them were made by man ) then after the pools FISH ON in the natural area untouched by man go figure? nice size rainbow 6" . worked more upstream no bites. Sun gave way to shade so i fished downstream and had one very small fish come up in the bubble zone and try to take my hopping skating fly.

All in all good day ... where can you fish 2 streams in same day and catch fish on the fly during February?
