Ithan Creek, PA

Felt like 120% humidity yesterday 🥵 No wonder my favorite spots were taken over by local kids cooling off in the creek, except for my most favorite spot under the canopy of trees 😊
My dinner: escaped 🥲

While my son practices soccer a bit far from home, there is usually a creek nearby 😉
It was incredibly humid yesterday, and the redbreast sunfish were very active 😊
Surprisingly, no mosquitos although I was covered in DEET and permethrin-treated clothes 😉

This pool holds some decent-sized smallmouth bass. The water was a bit murky after the recent rain, but I’m sure they’re in there somewhere. It looks calm, but there’s a nice current that smallmouth love 😊

Should’ve gotten up early today, the temperature was too hot by the afternoon 🥵 Looks like it’s time for some wet wading 🤔
Any trout caught here should probably be kept, as they’re unlikely to survive the summer in this creek…

I didn’t go fly fishing today, but I will do so tomorrow, right before I start really freaking out about how little time I have left before the deadline😏

It’s been over a week since last I went fly fishing, a long stretch for me. Even with a grant deadline looming, I think a visit here tomorrow may be the best way to make my writing more efficient 🤔

Many fish are rising…they all seem to be fallfish 🙄
Not sure I’ll have time to fly fish tomorrow, but Sunday is looking more likely 😊

#FlyFishingFriday (a day late…)

Finished a draft manuscript, submitted a proposal, and wound down a busy week with some fly fishing yesterday😉

Not a bad way to close out Friday, though it’s already Saturday 😊

It looks like I’ll be visiting this creek once a week this spring🤔
While I usually prefer smaller streams, I’m looking forward to getting to know this water better over time 😊

Crum Creek, PA

I prefer the upper section of this creek for its better water, but public access is limited 😞
This stretch of Crum Creek looks more open, so I should start checking it out 🤔

Lots of tick activity, though 😞 I have DEET in my car always ready 🙂

During the off-season, when I have to drive farther to reach creeks that are open year-round, I spend more time doing experiments in my lab instead of fishing at the creek 🤔Though oftentimes, lab experiments feel a bit like fishing too 😏

But I will still walk along the creek 😊

Someone was meditating on Buddha Beach across from where I was fishing, which is my form of meditation 🤔

Lower Salt River, AZ

I have spent most of my life in Japan and Pennsylvania. Although I lived in San Diego, which is near the desert, for several years, I never really thought of the desert as a place for trout fishing, but now I know there are places like this where you can fish for trout surrounded by saguaro cacti 😉
Looks like I need to plan another visit 🤔

There were a lot of trout, a lot. I didn’t know where or when they stock, I just happened to be there right after🤔

Some people were doing tenkara. The area was wide open overhead and behind, perfect for tenkara, although I used a regular fly rod 😊

Pantreading Creek, PA

Now I regret not going fly fishing yesterday 😢
All the local creeks are in dangerous condition, and it will take at least a couple of days for the water levels to drop to safe conditions, so there will basically be no fishing this weekend 🤔

This isn’t the kind of destination water that attracts hordes of technicians and headhunters. It’s fished mostly by locals and the odd tourist with a day to kill.

I mostly fish creeks like this as both a local and an odd tourist 😊

I spent a long time on a tree branch trying to capture the big carp below🙂
Glare made it impossible to get a clear shot, but I could still the large dark-orange carp, smaller carp, and white suckers 😉

I had planned to fly fish today despite the cold and wind, but I ended up shopping with my family instead 🤔
So now I am aiming to fish tomorrow… it will be even colder😉

The day before yesterday was perfect for fly fishing, so I squeezed in an hour😊
Yesterday, the temperature dropped and I was too busy, so no fishing🙃
Today is colder and very windy, but I will go fishing because I have time😉
That is how I fish🤔

Soon, this stretch of creek will be stocked with trout😉
For the first couple of weeks, there will be a crowd of anglers, but afterward, the creek becomes quiet, and I usually find my fishing buddies there😊

Pretty hot today, not sure I feel like fishing. But I didn’t get out enough this week, and the weekend will be packed with my son’s soccer tournament. I think I should try to fish after work… although I still have a lot to get done today 🤔
