iso,

Now I understand the root of your problem. Years ago I used to fish the trico hatch on the Little Leigh and like you I was always frustrated. Some guys like fishing it but, with so many natuals on the creek, my fly would get lost among the thousands of naturals. Do you have any class A trout streams near you with brookies? I had one of my best fishing days this year TODAY on a class A stream. Granted the fish are small but the water will be cool and the trout active if it supports a wild population of brookies.
