The word of the day is "improvement."  The White Clay Creek is settling down now; flows have come down and the water is starting to really clear up.  It's amaing how quick it does that, especially in the branches.  Despite the weather, you were able to catch browns in the muddy water over the weekend.  And (based on reports), when they were caught, they tended to be the biggers ones.  Hmm, I think I mentioned that about a week ago.  Either way,  there is no excuse not to be fishing.

Something else to be thinking about: we are getting to that part of the season where a lot of the trout fishers are starting to do some other activity or are changing their target species in other directions (despite the fact that there a lot of trout in the water).  This means that most fly shops are at the point where their trying to cut down tyheir inventory a little on the trout rods, reels, etc. they have in stock.  It's a buyer's market.  So if you're in a fly shop and have been eyeing up that special something that is a bit out of the range you're willing to pay, don't be afraid to try to wheel and deal with the store manager.  You can probably get a better deal on that something special (hint).
