#FlyFishingFriday

Chester Creek, PA

While my son practices soccer a bit far from home, there is usually a creek nearby 😉
It was incredibly humid yesterday, and the redbreast sunfish were very active 😊
Surprisingly, no mosquitos although I was covered in DEET and permethrin-treated clothes 😉

Chester Creek, PA

This pool holds some decent-sized smallmouth bass. The water was a bit murky after the recent rain, but I’m sure they’re in there somewhere. It looks calm, but there’s a nice current that smallmouth love 😊

#ThrowbackThursday to June 2016 and some infrared fun in the riparian woodlands of Escondido Creek at the Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve.

To get this look and colors, the red and blue channels of the infrared image were swapped in #Lightroom

#ThursdayThoughts

Ridley Creek, PA

I was hoping to get some fly fishing in while my son is at soccer practice this evening, but it looks like thunderstorms are forecast again😑

How about Ultra Hi-Vis Red-Winged Olive? Or maybe a Yellow Adams with giant red wings? 😏
Hopefully I don’t get thunderstorms again tomorrow. 🤔

Summer Azure, or Celastrina neglecta 😊 
But neglecta? I'll try to pay a little more attention next time 😉

#WildlifeWednesday

My phone is telling me it's a Canadian Tiger Swallowtail 🙄
But it's most likely an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail 🤔
And the little one is a Summer Azure, at least according to my phone 😊

Ridley Creek, PA

I’ll be fly fishing this evening, not on this creek, but on one not too far away 😉
