Fished from noon till about 4:00 today and again, the fishing was pretty tough. Steady fishing only netted 3 bows despite seeing many fish in the head of the pool. The odd thing was, these fish appeared to be engaged in spawning activity. They chased each other in small groups and several pairs were seen circling in what might have been a redd. While thoughts of fly fishers drift to turkeys and dressing, these trout seemed focused on procreation. Come on fishy guys and gals, this is the breeding season for browns, not rainbows. Then again, I'm a few thousand miles from my home waters and maybe things just work different in Texas. Or more likely, this is just an artifact of hatchery raised fish. I tried a lot of patterns today and nothing worked consistently. One on a #20 brassie, another on a #16 pheasant tail and the third on a 6mm egg.
