This morning, between 9:45 and 10:00, I had a few minutes before I had to go open the store.  I stopped at the Fly Fishing Section of the Delaware White Clay Creek.  I walked half way up the stretch and stopped at the gravel bar next to the thin water just above "the Island."  I stood there and carefully and systematically searched the water for trout.  I saw three (maybe 4) trout in three minutes.  Then I went down to the top part of  "O'Donnell's Hole" and saw four trout in the same amount of time.  I just stood there quietly and looked hard.  That's more than a trout per minute.  What does this mean?  THERE ... ARE.....PLENTY..OF...TROUT around!  Are they sluggy?; yep (I'm feeling sluggy in the weather too).  Are they spooky?; yep.  Are they getting picky? You betcha.  But they are there, now we have to figure out how to catch them.  Summer fishing can be very different from spring fishing with regard to the total presentation. Also, I saw a few tan/gray caddis, size 16.
