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.

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. But wasnt interested in anything I thru @ it :lol: :lol:

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

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 location
