Great report, Ray. Man, those fish are pretty aren't they? Best thing now is that since Tim taught you how to fish that kind of water, maybe you'll come down and show me how to do it. I'm really intimidated by true spring creeks such the Letort and Big Spring Creek outside of Carlisle.

Ray,

Thanks for the great company. It was fun sharing the stream(s) with you. Tough water-I never landed a fish that night.
We will have to do it again soon!

Great photo essay, too!

Best,

Tim

Tim, I would love to see some more of your Streamers. Do you post pics of them anywhere else?

Man, those are really great pics. Gorgeous water and what looks like ideal conditions. Ray, it's nice to see such a nice evening on the water with you two. Tim, I'm next on your dance card. It's cool to see your"other" fly box too. I'd love to see the pics of the steamers as well.

Good for you both. Nicely done.

DUBBN,

Sorry...I'm just an old grunt. I still think the "spinning disc thing" on the computer is a coffee cup holder!

Ray said that he'd help me out with a little needed education-and I'd be happy to share what (little) I know. Hans hooked me up years ago and I have a few patterns on his site, maybe there is something posted there that you are interested in.

The box Ray shot that night were my big night flies-mostly size 2, 4, and 6 wets, but a few big ones, size 6/0-1.

Good stuff...the big ones really do come out at night, and they usually want a meal, not a snack.

William,

Come on up-you are always welcome! We'll fish some glass rods...

Best,

Tim

Ray,

Once again, great pictures, and great story. And thanks to Tim for being such a good guide.
