may 1 and 2nd

I did finally get a chance to fish yesterday after working in the shop with Barry and a few others from the Sporting Gentleman. Hit one one the local ponds in West Chester for some pan fish on poppers. Always great to fish with Barry he is a true icon in the sport of fly fishing. I had the pleasure of having the chance to fish with the Mary from the store and Sunday evening became a true sentiment of what fly fishing is all about . The Bluegills and pan fish were very receptive with everyone having a blast.

Next was a brief moment of freedom today for me and i ran out to Ridley creek for some Black Caddis action. Mary had fished Ridley with a client on Sunday and had told me that the Black Caddis was plentiful on Sunday and i could not resist. I started at the Falls and was quickly noticing that the Caddis were present in full force. The Black Caddis is one of those hatches that is more myth then merit and as usual the fish seemed to ignore the bounty, I did manage two fish in Black Caddis emergers and a few more on a quill imitation. Good day it on;y lasted a short time but was fun indeed. Till next time way i might see you on the run
