PK Tailrace 2-13-2011

I went out to the Brazos River below PK this morning. I normally don't fish mornings this time of year, but I was invited to fish with a group of guys who already had the outing planned. I got skunked. Only one of the group caught any fish. He used a Whitlock squirreltail nymph in black. The water was very cold.

I tried the following flies to no avail:

General nymph - black and olive

Egg-laying Caddis with Zebra Midge dropper

Egg-laying Caddis w/o dripper

BH dove tail nymph

This was the third outing of the year. I went to the Brazos River below DeCordova the first weekend of January and struck out. I also went to Bear Creek the weekend after and could not park by the bridge and therefore could not walk up to the holes that I know hold fish. The creek is still fishable, but I will need to take the canoe.

Due to the poor weather - snow for several days - I have been tying flies. I have pictures of some of my flies that I will post later. I have also started to spin deer hair flies. A couple look fishable.
