East Branch Croton Res - Late July 2012

I went out on the East Branch of the Croton Res again this morning, it was simply beautiful out there with some light rainfall the day/night before.  The water is still cold but the levels are certainly dropping. I attempted Nymphing for the first time with not much to show for it but a handful of tangles, snags and a half dozen lost flies... Part of the learning process I guess.  I also wanted to try streamers, as I'd like to start using them for prospecting new streams and rivers.  I found a nice new hole that was created from a tree that fell from earlier in the month and to my surprise, fish on!  The fish hit the streamer and jumped out of the water immediately, it was quite the rush but it didn't take much to bring in the 10 inch brown trout.  
And of course, a safe release for the fish.
