I finally had some success.
A respectable Brown from the Gunpowder.
On Saturday, I had a chance to go out again on the South River which is in Greene County, Virginia, near my home town of Culpeper. This is a stocked trout stream that is a "put and take." I have had crap all luck with stocked streams, but for some reason I keep putting myself through the torture of trying to catch a trout on one of these streams. My luck on the South would prove no better this go around. Even though the stream had just been stocked four days before, I didn't see, or spook, a single trout.
I emailed one of my good friends, Tom Sadler who writes the blog Dispatches from the Middle River, and is an all around great fisherman, to get his take on trout streams. He made me feel a lot better confirming my thought that the "locals" tend to fish out and harvest the majority of these trout as soon as they leave the truck. Next time, maybe I'll just go for a hike instead.
