It will soon be time to get back up to my closest trout stream in the NC mountains. September brings a bit of rain and the cooler temps. That combination will cool the water enough to make the fish more active as colder water can hold more oxygen. Fishing the mountain streams improves around the middle of September and from then on until the really cold weather the fishing can be impressive.
The streams will be low and the water will be clear, and that means spooky fish. But, the fish are still hungry every day and the right offering can result in a strike. So, I am getting some things ready for the fly boxes. Here are some black/copper zebra nymphs with black tungsten bead heads. I also tied up some bead head brassies. Can't wait to get to the mountains and wet a line.
