Brookies and a bow

[westernmas]

Fished the local streams right down the street from my house. I started fishing dry flies for brookies and landed a half dozen and missed many more (Thanks to TightLinesMaine on the fly suggestions). I fished down the street a little further and got a 11 inch rainbow on a wooley bugger. Nothing special but good fishing for a five minute drive.

Nice Native Brookie pics. Makes me want to hit my local hot spot for them.

Thanks guys.  Up until this recent rain they were the only trout really worth targeting.  They are so small it is tough to get a good hook set but catching anything on top water is always fun, especially on a fly rod.

what dry flies did you end up having success with?

As you suggested the royal wulff was the fly of choice for the brookies.

nice. brookies in medium to fast moving water can't ignore the wulff IMO.  congrats
