Wild brook trout trip report. I arrived at Mortimer late Wednesday and pitched the tent and settled in for the night. Thursday hit the upper DH section just down from Lost Cove. Lots of brook trout still in the stream like this guy. I didn’t see too many anglers releasing fish and there were lots of spinner baits being tossed into the stream.

Friday hiked into the upper Wilson Creek with my 3 WT. I had forgotten how slippery the rocks are and found myself more than once on my rear wet wadding, but it was a nice way to cool off on such a hot day.

Managed a few wild rainbows on a small copper john. I hooked one nice 14″ rainbow on an orange squirmy wormie  Had him almost to the net when I lost my footing on some rocks and jerked the 6X line breaking him off. The wild rainbows are beautiful.

Not a bad day despite my clumsiness-maybe cause I’m getting too old!
Did treat myself to a nice cold ice cream on the way back to Mortimer.
