Bear Creek Log

September 2, 2000

Went looking for some early run steelies, or salmon.  Didn't spot any so decided to try for a brown.    Approached an area that had many risers and quickly tied on a small BWO only to find out that they were only 3 inch trout.  Ended up catching only one chub on a weighted streamer with a lead core section of line at the end of my loop to loop rig that I was pounding some of the deeper holes with in hopes of catching a lake runner.

  
Had this Goose swim right up to me and pass
me on the creek. It was bound and determined to swim
past me and not get out and walk on shore.

Fished up above the bridge on Leffew road.  Nice evening, but a little hot.  Lots of risers but mostly small fry.  Did catch on 6" brookie and released.  Couldn't count the number of 4-5" fish caught.  A beautiful section of creek "really it's a river", with cold water even this late in the summer.  Very wooded and remote, with the creek being a bit tight in spots for those who don't like to roll cast.
