Hit Paint Creek tonight downstream of Dutton and Livernois - Dan was supposed to be there, but never showed! I'll get to fish with him someday - one other guy fishing - he had a brown hit a dry, and chubs on his weighted nymphs, but nothing else. Nothing was rising, so I tied on a 16 hare's ear to start. Fished upstream for a while, with nothing hitting. Came to a deep pool, and saw 2 trout rising sporadically. Tied on a 16 adams for fun, and actually got a hit. They both bedded down after that, but it was exciting for me because I've never had a fish rise to a dry for me on PC before! Proves to me that it can be done, and I'll just have to head out there more often!
I also saw sulfurs rising, and what I would swear was a gray drake, but not sure on that count. It was also only one, so it made me doubt. There are several creek projects we could do. There is a good sized debris jam downstream of the PC bridge there (though it speeds up the river, and a nice pool below it), there is a full shopping cart just upstream of the bridge there, and there is another MAJOR debris jam further upstream towards the next bridge, and that one is re-routing the stream itself.

We live entirely too well in some ways and not nearly well enough in others. We either want more than we need or settle for less than we deserve, and we never seem to understand what we're doing wrong at the time. - John Gierach
