Define killed em' off? Like physically killed them or killed off the bite? I wouldn't have wasted my time at the Breeches. Only time I ever fished there I got skunked and got royally roasted by a fly fisher who has less skilled than I and a spin bro (spin bro was a regular at the creek). To this day I do not understand how I lost to the fly fisher. My drifts were better, my depth was better, and I probably had better fly selection than this person, although I did let them get some flies out of my box). Heck, I even had a better rod (my finest nymph rod) for the task at hand. Water was up but fishable so it should have been a trout slaughter considering my point fly was a rubber-legged stone. Water was flat where I fished and there was only one solid run that I could see that was worth fishing, which was where we fished during the majority of our time there. I HATE staying in a single spot when trout fishing, I'll grind for steelhead, but that's because I know the fish are moving up and down the creek and I want to hold a good position for myself to fish as well as others in the group. Due to all of that, I don't foresee myself ever going back there.
If you wanna get some chubs come down my way. I racked up over forty this past this Thurs on my favorite chubbin' creek, most were around 2 inches if you can deal with catching small fish. Felt like I was in Japan fishing Edo Style with the size of these fish. Was surprised I could feel the takes on my 9ft 4wt, truly amazing what the latest tech from G. Loomis can do!
