Thanks guys!

Gene, yeah, super fun size for sure. Strong fighters with full bellies. They weren't big leapers though. Sometimes right after the hookset but that was it. Even the rainbow, no jump. Maybe they were too full?

Rich, that is indeed a gorgeous fish. I too am a huge fan of the blue sheen on their cheeks. I hope anyone who was up there will share more pics! It was an epic day, everyone was catching fish.

Btw, minor correction, meant to say we got rained out Sunday, not Friday...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Catoctin Mountain Black Bear

That's awesome. Now you can one up the guy with an Alaska bear story. They're a little more rare around here.

Imagine how i felt looking up while walking the bank and out of the corner of my eye seeing a black shape moving down the opposite bank in my direction! I took a quick glance around and did not see any cubs and my nerves calmed a bit. The bear stopped on a rock across from me, looking into the water. I don't know if the bear had seen me before then or not as I was moving slowly and quietly. After a couple seconds it looked up at me, so I yelled once and it turned and ran up the hill and didn't look back.
The entire encounter probably lasted 10-15 seconds but it was one of the coolest moments I have had streamside. The bear was no more than 30 feet away when I scared it off. I had never seen one from outside of my car before. Once the adrenaline wore off I kept fishing and did not see it again.
Really don't think the bear posed any threat but I know a bunch of you guys fish up that way so wanted to share. Just be aware of your surroundings when fishing up there. Before that encounter, the thought of running into a bear in that area never crossed my mind. I was always totally focused on the fishing, and between that and the noise of the water, a bear could have walked right up behind me and I would have had no clue.
In hindsight I should have taken a pic or two, but in the moment that bear was too close for comfort. Was probably about 3 ft high at the shoulders or a little less, not scary big but not an animal to mess with either!

Hey guys,

Kyle and I headed up to the Little Juniata this weekend, and ended up hitting the Sulphur hatch perfectly. We had a phenomenal day of fishing on Saturday, but got rained out on Friday (I should say, not exactly rained out, because Kyle did weather the rain, whereas I headed to a cabin. I just mean to say the water flow bumped up dramatically).

I wrote up the day of fishing on my blog. Keep an eye out for a link to expanded content, as well. Hope yall enjoy!

Tight lines,

Misha
