Last year I was fishing the Big Flat Brook early season with Rich Tullo. We caught a few fish and then met up with a familiar local fisherman. He had been walking upstream, catching fish all morning with just one fly, his little black stonefly. What I learned is that early black stonefly nymphs are found in fast-moving water over rocky bottoms. When trout are feeding selectively on them, you'll see the trout actively feeding in shallow riffles. You can fish a weighted version or unweighted with spit shot or behind a heavier nymph. Of course, of you see fish rising it’s time to put on a dry fly.
Tie up six and bring them to the chapter meeting on February 13. There will be two raffles.
