04/22/08 - Visiting Bedford county is always special. A mixture of
limestone and freestone streams, and a dash of beautiful scenery
mixed in.
I don't like it but I am sworn to secrecy on one of the streams to
protect the regulars who enjoy this fertile gem.
There was blizzard-like Blue Quill activity in the morning and when
we moved over to Yellow creek in the afternoon we were greeted
with a good caddis hatch.
An area overflowing with history including George Washington and
the Whiskey Rebellion, Bedford is also known for its medicinal
springs. There is something special about this water.

I'm sure this caddis larva didn't like me disturbing his
home on this quiet evening.
home on this quiet evening.
May 3, 2008 - At Yellow Creek we were greeted by #18 black Caddis and spotted Sedges.
Around 4:00pm the Hendrickson created quite a show and the fish responded enthusiastically.
Hendricksons are very light creamy pink on this stream.
On our next stream, the Hendrickson spinners danced over the fast water. Lacking a suitable
imitation, the Shop Vac and blue quill compara still produced well.
