Late afternoon on Halfmoon Creek
Headed up to Halfmoon Creek for the first time this year to do a little camping and fishing. I get to the creek and set up camp before I put on the waders and head to the water around 4pm. I decide to work my way upstream hitting every pocket and run along the way before working my way back to camp.
I tie on a green Amy's Ant and start working my way through the holes. Second hole and I land my first fish of the day, a little brookie to start the day off right. I continue working upstream getting a fish at almost every spot I try and have landed a brown and a rainbow to get three of the four types of trout in the river.

I start working my way back downstream hoping to land a cutthroat to finish off the grand slam. I work back down to find a nice little pool on the side of the river to finish off the day. I change flies to a Green Drake and start casting through the pool. First cast and I get a little brookie to bite and land that one plus another five before I call it a day and walk back to camp.

Great first day back on Halfmoon Creek with probably 20 plus fish in hand and not another angler in sight.
Rod: Iwana 12' 6/4
Line: Furled 12'
Flies that Worked: Amy's Ant, Green Drake
