Falling Springs 11/22/23

Ken just moved into the area a few weeks ago. He called the other day and wanted to see if I did a round-a-bout stream tour. He was just not sure of where to go and park, plus stream access. I told him I actually do this same thing quite often. So we met up at 9AM at my house and hit Falling Springs and the “Jig” for a couple of hours. I showed him around the upper Falling Springs which was clear and 52 degrees. We did see plenty of midges and rising trout, but I knew if I got the rod out we would never accomplish what we set out to do. We then hit the town section which was stained. It was time to fish for about an hour. We tried nymphs, but I switched off to big dark streamers. I showed Ken where to fish and as we did we had a follow, missed trout and Ken said man I blew that one. He had connected with one but got off. Then we set off on the “Jig” and it was rolling and brown. He could not believe just how much water there was to fish. Ken and I are going to have a lot of great times coming up. I think we fell from the same apple tree.
