Red Brook Revisite'

I made my way to Red Brook today on my way home from work down the Cape. It was a little chilly but the sun was out and made it bearable. I was the only person casting today although there was a dog walker and two other folks walking along the brook.

I was going to use a Mickey Finn but decided to use a bead-head nymph instead.

This is where I started.


I am off to walk along a path to explore some.



You can see the bridge in the background I needed to cross.


This was to my left from spot above.
The grass along the brook's edge were very muddy and this limited my access. I only stayed for about 40 minutes and did not have any fish bump my fly nor did I see any evidence that there were any in the water; however, it was nice to break out the fly-rod and  cast a line upon the water. Next week my class for tying streamers begins and I can't wait to get back here when the weather is warmer and I have something that I tied to toss to the trout.

  1. Very pretty area. Hopefully things warm up sooner than later and you can get a little fish action.

  4. Ed,
    That first photo, that's a great spot. You should have tossed the Mickey Finn there.

  5. Hi Alan......I have to go back next week so I will give it another shot. Do you think there will be any fish there this time of year based on your experience? I checked where it empties into and it was a residential area with no access. Thanks.
