Nice. McMichael's a nice little stream. How were the flows?

This was the 1st time I went there. But judging from the water marks on the rocks and shoreline. I say its slightly lower

Nice work. Fished the Brodhead in the gorge that afternoon. Lots of stoneflys around, no fish. Tough wading back there even when it's low.

Re: Fished McMichael Creek 2-19-23
My firm is removing a dam on McMichael's upstream of where you're at there. Hopefully this summer. Private waters, but it will help the river below it as the current impoundment is a 4 plus acre heat sync now in summer. And the dam itself is a fish blockage for upstream passage. Looks like you had a good day on the water.

I was told that theres 2 private club waters sandwiched between where I was. Fish swim in between them. I seen a nice few extremely large palominos in the waters.

The club we are working with doesn't stock the banana fish. I really don't know where other clubs are on that river.

Yes. The stretch I fished was some GREAT looking waters. I definitely will be going back. From what I understand. The state stocks the palomino's. Im unsure where those clubs are on the water. That information was told to me that suggested that locationRusty Spinner wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 9:15 amThe club we are working with doesn't stock the banana fish.
