fished Hickory Creek today (as usual).

Temps nearly 50; most snow melted so stream wasn't too cold. Saw a few trouts rising; and saw One mayfly.
Caught 5 browns on my Green Retro fly: which is all I used. One  about 14 inches, another about 12; the others were yearlings.  Fished from 10 to 1pm, waded from lower bridge to middle access.

now that I'm retired, i'll have time to write about trouts
