2010 Fishing Season Results....Since the end of April thru May 10th we have had the best dry fly fishing in over 20 yrs.  My buddy and I took 10 Browns from 15 1/2" to 23" on the Hendrickson Spinner fall hatch or fishing beadhead nymphs....June has been very productive with Small Soft Hackles, lots of 5" to 8" brookies and browns.  The "Kill" is definitely coming back!...Catch and release and all the stream bank work that has been done during the fall for the last 3 years is working.  We've had some rain so the level is high but in a week we will have good Zonker fishing.  I can give daily updates on email or by phone.  -Marty
