Rainy all day, but it’s a great time to imagine different situations and think through what I’d do to make my fly fishing and hiking more enjoyable 😁

It rain all day today. I’m glad I got to do some fly fishing yesterday 😊

Before heading into the crowds at Subaru Park, I was able to enjoy a quiet moment at a local creek 😊

Ithan Creek, PA

This bridge was rehabilitated a couple of years ago, but the fish haven’t come back yet. Now they’re planning to rehabilitate the upstream bridge visible through this one, which means no fish around either bridge 😞

I got a little hurt while exploring this area about a month ago 😅 But I think I’m ready to head back to this creek before it gets too cold 🤔

Ithan Valley Park, PA

Locals enjoy bathing under the falls during the summer 🙂
Now that it’s autumn, nobody bathes here, so it’s all mine for fishing 😁

The creek landscape keeps changing, losing some fish-holding pockets and creating new ones 🙂

A long, thick fallen tree was completely covered with turkey tails 😮

This was new to me 😮
This big fallen tree stepped in my way after the heavy rain 🤔 It made fishing a bit difficult 🙃

After finally getting over a bug, the best place to get outdoors is this quiet creek just around the corner 😊

Going fishing tomorrow 😁
Still not sure where I’ll go though 😀

Finally recovering from the bug I got from my kids, and already thinking about the weekend 🤔

#FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Creek #Hiking #Walking #Photography

Rain throughout the weekend, but I still did quite a bit of walking around grocery stores and a big outdoor retailer, and even got to see some trout 😉
Also, my wife got a pair of rain boots, and I got a bleacher seat 😄

Rain all day today, and tomorrow too 🥲
But I got a new pair of hip waders 🤩 I rarely wear chest waders, occasionally waist waders, but mostly hip waders 😉

#FluorescenceFriday

Actually, it’s bioluminescence, not fluorescence 🤔
But I’d love to see these mushrooms glowing in the dark someday. They were deep in the woods, though. Hopefully, I’ll find some growing near a road next time! 🍄✨

Downstream from here was full of minnows like fallfish, but farther upstream, I might find some trout 🤔 It was getting dark, so I stopped at the bridge and walked all the way back downstream to my car. Next time, I’ll start from this bridge 😊

#FlyFishing #Fishing #Forest #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Photography

#ThursdayThoughts

Pine Creek, PA

Foamy 🙂 The water was high after the rain, and the temperature was 19°C (66°F), a bit warmer than I expected. This section of the creek was full of fallfish and creek chubs, hoping to see some trout further upstream 🤔

Not sure what these fawns (or should I call them young deer? 🤔) were eating. They didn’t walk away until I got really close 😊

Eastern jack-o'lantern mushroom

A big surprise while fishing deep in the forest 🤩 I didn’t know what it was, so I looked it up… toxic, but it contains luciferase and glows in the dark 😮

Tomorrow is still a day off 😁
I think I might drive a little farther than usual, but all of these state parks are within an hour and a half 😄

After much thought, I decided to go to my usual creek close to home 😅
I covered a much longer stretch than usual, spinning upstream from my car and fly fishing downstream 😁 Kind of the opposite of the usual approach on a small stream 🤔

#FlyFishing #Fishing #Creek #Hiking #Walking #Nature #Photography

Langford Run, PA

Almost 3 pm 🙄 and I’m still trying to figure out where to go fishing today 🤔 But at least I got my yard work done 😀

Jeans Run Falls, PA

I wanted to go back to this creek this weekend, but I still haven’t fully recovered from my last visit two weeks ago, so I think I’ll go somewhere closer instead 🤔

Taughannock Falls, NY

Unlike the falls I visited just over a week ago, the trail to this place is nice and flat, so nice and pleasant walk to get here, although fishing isn’t allowed 😉

Not difficult to reach this waterfall 😉 but there are multiple waterfalls downstream, with no real trail and lots of slippery rocks. I got hurt a bit 🥲 Need to be extra careful with a fly rod in my hand 🙂

Crum Creek, PA

Most of the upper reaches of this creek are on private property or closed to fishing 😞
But there’s a short section where I can fish legitimately 😊

Late summer day, 82°F (28°C), but the water is nice and cool at only 59°F (15°C) 😊

The water level seems too high for fishing today after the rain. I had plenty of time yesterday, but I took a few naps throughout the day and never got a chance to go fishing 😭
These waterfalls look like 😭 too.

I may still go fishing after this 🤔

They were bright orange but hadn’t grown much eight days ago. Now, they’re massive but not quite as orange. Still gorgeous 😊

Jeans Run, PA

The water is tinted, a clear amber-brown color, almost like tea ☕️
Not from pollution, but from tannins and other dissolved organic compounds released by decaying leaves and vegetation 😊

Not so easy to reach, but multiple series of waterfalls are concentrated along a relatively short section of this creek 😊

Some brook trout spend their entire lives in a small pool like this, in a high-gradient mountain stream deep in the forest 😮

No fishing along the main gorge trails, but it looks like a nice creek to fish in the lower and upper areas of the state park 😊

While fishing far from the stocked trout areas, I came across a sucker run on the trout opening day 😊
Caught a few, something that’s typically quite difficult to do with flies except during the period of the sucker run 😉
