Quick Weekend At Millstream
« on: June 06, 2016, 05:24:27 PM »
Hi guys and gals, a week a go I was fortunate to spend some quality time with my family at Millstream, my father is not well so it was great to get him out the house. Anyways I managed to do some fly fishing which was long overdue! Not a lot to say, but I managed 24 fish in total over 2 days. Lost an 800 gram fish at my feet and most of other fish were between 100 and 300 grams. Managed to get a few pics before I dropped my camera onto a rock and into the water  :-( :-( Was fun on the 4 weight and I caught at least 50% of my fish on dry fly and nymph, the flies that did work were:

Wet Flies

Black Woolly Bugger
Black/Ready Woolly Bugger
White Woolly Bugger

Nymphs

Sinking Ant
Tungsten Black Nymph
Corixa

Dry Flies

Foam Hopper
Foam Mayfly

it looks to be a wonderful place and some nice action, I need to try it

when I die, may my wife not sell my fishing tackle for what I told her I paid for it... and I have bought more, a severe case of TA
