Spent Saturday afternoon over on Rock Creek Lake floating around in the float tube. The water was still pretty cold there and I regretted wet wading once the clouds came in later in the afternoon. Fishing was pretty good all things considered. I used a dry dropper rig with a big stimulator and two tungsten bead nymphs, a pheasant tail variant "The Frenchie" and a pink version of a hares ear called a "Surveyor." Best way to fish it was casting in areas of risers and then slowly strip it back to me. The Dry would sometimes dive when a fish took a nymph dropper but many times all that would signal a strike would be the dry turning in a different direction or a small blip. Fish actually hit the dry too stripped across the surface, usually just as it was starting to move. I had many doubles hooked and a few landed and even managed to hook and land a triple! As cool as that was, the highlight of the day was seeing a small banded water snake swimming across a small cove on the lake and a nice brook trout came up and nailed him! Now that is something you don't see everyday! Enjoy the pictures and flying bream...
