After fishing Bunnells Pond I moved on up along the upper areas of Beardsley Park on the Pequonnock. Water was clear and had lots of sun shining.

First stop was where I have been hitting the panfish. No followers there on the FLR-6 and HJ-6.

Kept on moving upstream to find fish and came to a spot where I saw sunnies and a few yellows roaming around. Caught a keeper 9" yellow with the HJ-6.

Later I moved farther up almost to the bend and saw a nice rainbow in the water! I was desperate to catch it and concentrated on hunting for it for almost 2 hours! It was looking for a tiny snack on the bottom cause it wouldn't hit the HJ-6 or a hot mustard muddler X-Rap XR-4 so I threw a variety of soft plastics and worked them very slow on the bottom. The only 3 soft plastics it quickly hit only once were a 1" hot pink tube, 1" brown crawdad, and orange Trout Magnet. I could also tell that the trout was line shy cause everytime the line from my light action setup would drift by it it would swim a bit away fast.

I finally gave up and hit the road by 3pm.

Last years trout colors were chartruse. I think this years colors were orange. I saw a rainbow today at the river i was at but he wasnt interested in my fly .

I wouldve dug in the woods for a worm. Mustve been a real smart rainbow especially if he survived majority of the summer and all of spring.
