Nice, this stretch has what I believe to be the most pressured fish on the east coast. They see a lot of flies thrown at them

I agree with Barry above but flip a rock and see whats crawling around on the bottom of the rock. Use that as an anchor fly and run a dry above it by 1.5x the depth of the water. Good luck!

I'm nearing 40 and can feel the need for readers or magnifying glasses every time I tie on a #20 or smaller

They come out to say hi quite often. Playing catch with bears sounds significantly more dangerous than fishing. Who's dating fish? Are there documented cases of fish dating?

I would agree with you but I can't remember the name or where I got it.

Walked down as it was a new stream for me and watched a brown feed and thought "thats a good sign" apparently not. Dry dropper with royal wulff and #24 midge as thats what was under a rock.

What bugs are you seeing in the water there?

Tiny fly season is upon us I believe. I've caught a few in the past weeks on #18 all black midges, nothing yet on the 20s and 24s I've tied on.
