Deer Creek

Camped at Potatoe Patch Tues thru Thurs last week. Nobody but me at the campground and for that matter fishing. Caught a few trout each day on hare's ears or pt nymphs. Stream seemed to be in great shape..not heavy at all. Hoped for some dry action but had no luck. Be careful of regulations cuz a warden did check me for my barb on my fly. He was pretty gung ho cuz he even took me back to my camp to look in my cooler. Guess he really wanted to find something but didn't.

I usually fish above the falls to avoid the gung-ho-revenue-hunters.

ii was there a week ago and per usual, caught lots of smallish, pretty, trout on dries only in the heat of the day with absolutely nothing emerging. flows were perfect for wading; I was expecting more flow and less fish based on earlier posts on this website....saw a couple fishermen drinking corona at the 32 bridge crossing but nobody else fishing.

Some dry patterns, and parts of the river, produce better than others. I use ~#18 parachutes, light fluoro tippet, and fish pocket water; I stay away from tailouts and slow drifts in deep water where you can "see" the fly easily (and the fish can see you).
