Charlotte Creek and West Branch

Friday night we spent fishing the West Branch from Hamden to Walton. Still waiting for the water to drop a bit more, but it's fishable. We didn't have much luck aside from 2 10 inchers and a big old mama bass.

Saturday morning was a different story on the Charlotte Creek near Davenport with my buddy and I pulling out a pair of 13 inchers and a nice fat 15er. All brown trout, all on salted minnows.  

Charlotte Creek Report

Monday morning, 4/21/14

The levels are still high but coming down steadily and the water is still stained but clearing up. I noticed a few stone flies and midges about, but no surface activity. I fished streamers on sink tip line for most of the time and the tried my hand at high stick nymphing with a stone fly pattern before casting a few dry caddies patterns, mostly for the fun of it. I didn't have any luck, but my buddy caught a nice 16" brown with salted emerald shiners on his spin rod.
