Last Sunday we made another visit to the lower part of our stream in
the area we call the Prairie because of the open landscape.
With clear blue skies it was soon darn hot and we had hoped that the warm
summer weather would provide us with some dry fly action with the numerous chubs.
Since we came along a bakery on the way to our fishing spot it made sense
to take a break first and get some coffee and a bunch of Kaiser rols for breakfast.
The stream, after a couple of hours in the sun I just stepped into the stream and cooled down besides the pilings.
The next stop was the bridge for the mandatory bread test when I tossed
some pieces of a Kaiser rol in the water to see what would happen.
When a big piece of the rol suddenly disappeared from the surface it was
obvious to us that the chub where present and not only the small ones.
When we launched our dry flies however nothing happened, they where on to us.

Small fish
At the end I just dumped a pheasant tail nymph upstream and let it ride close
along the fields of crowfoot which yielded a chub.
My buddy tried to get some fish with a dry fly but only the guppies where
active in the surface.
My buddy mentioned he had spotted a bunch of yellow perch near a bridge so
naturally I had to go and investigate that by tossing a streamer along the
pilings of the bridge.
Chub caught on a streamer
Dragging the streamer under the bridge was succsesfull, it did not yield the
spotted yellow perch though but to my surprise a chunky chub – no problems with that.
I did spend an another hour or so scouting the stream but only wasted my
time at a couple of bream, common bream that is.
Common Bream - Abramis brama
I saw a few canoes coming by which I had not noticed in the past.
It seems that someone has started a canoe rental at the stream, not good for fisherman.
