As is the case with all brook trout fishing, try each nook and cranny you think might just hold enough water; you will be pleasantly surprised. We caught five small guys between us, but we saw some very nice fish down deep in the few large pools left after this short drought. I will be sure to try my luck there again as soon as we A: get some good rain, and B: finish exams in about three weeks. That reminds me, I probably have a hundred plus drugs to memorize for Pharm. Love you second year...

Fishing Report: Upper Moormans River 10/3/09
Cam and I decided to take a much needed study break this morning and fish the Upper Moormans above Sugar Hollow Reservoir. It was an absolutely perfect day. We hit the water at about 8:00 and fished until roughly 11:30. We had great cover from the sun because the ridge to the east blocks the sunrise over the river until around 11:00 at this time of year. This was crucial since the water is very low and clear making the fish are extremely spooky. There are some beautiful pools up there with fish huddled together waiting for higher water levels so they can spread out.

Fishing Report: Sugar Hollow Reservoir
Wednesday, July 8th I took a quick late afternoon trip up to Sugar Hollow Reservoir with my buddy, David. The weather was perfect and the bass were definitely biting. Overall I think we hauled in about 6 bass, two of which were of pretty decent size.
We started at the dam and just walked along the shoreline fishing all of the good locations. David was using my go-to Yamamoto Senkos while I was fishing with my new favorite bass streamer, CK Baitfish. Yet another awesome fly by Chuck Kraft. I fish it just like I do a Senko. Just let it hit the water and fall slowly without twitching it. This usually will get a fish to bite immediately as it's got some great movement to it as it falls. Then I'll give it a 6 inch strip in every so often to bring it back up before letting it fall again.
David talks to fish, btw.
This lake is just teeming with fish. We barely walked 1/8 a mile around the shoreline. For the more adventuresome fishermen, I imagine the far shorelines hold some huge fish that haven't seen a lure/fly in a long time. (No boating allowed on the lake, fyi)
