first time I've been out for a while

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Yough River

My son Kyle and I took so time to fish for the first time in quite a while. We fished the Youghiogheny River Catch and Release Area and had a phenomenal evening! The river's flow had increased from a recent rain, however flows are still very low. We started fishing a deep hole with wooly buggers - and before long I had a 20 inch rainbow trout on the end of the line, and she put on quite a fight! We landed several more trout, including some bright-colored browns before trout started rising everywhere. As I mentioned in last week's report - always be prepared for an ant swarm on warm early fall days - and that is just what happened. There were some very small ants, about a size 20, and some larger ones about a size 16 falling on the water. I had the best luck using the smaller size on 7X tippett, landing about 25 trout as well as a few smallmouth bass. As late evening approached, so did the bats, so we called it a day.
