Piney Creek (Day 2), U-Cross, Wyoming

DATE: Wednesday, 9/7/2005

TIME: 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM

WEATHER: Low 80’s, sunny

WATER CONDITIONS: Normal, clear

LOCATIONS FISHED: Piney Creek near U-Cross, Wyoming (middle limits of the creek on Dave and Sandy Todd’s ranch)

HATCH: None

ROD USED: Winston 8’ 6” 5-weight WT Joan Wulff Favorite

FLIES USED: #12 parachute hopper, #14 foam ant, #10 olive woolly bugger, # orange woolly bugger

OTHER: I fished with Dick. The water in this reach has deeper pools, 6 to 8 feet deep, interspersed with riffles and shallow water. The creek has heavy growth of instream vegetation with few invertebrates observed. I did see an occasional rise, but was not able to take anything using dry flies. I managed one small rainbow on a woolly bugger, but saw several other fish. This creek has potential!
