Spinfishing is illegal on most spring creeks, but you can use avariety of flyfishing methods such as sight casting to “rooters”burrowing in aquatic plants for scuds, nymphs and sow bugs. Youcan slap out chunky streamers to tease big fish from deep, darkpools. You can fish terrestrials during no-hatch periods, or youcan wait patiently for mayfly emergences, when risefuriously all around you.
Delicate presentations are important, so keep your tackle light.Use an eight to nine foot rod taking a No. 4 to 6 weight-forwardor double-taper floating line, plus an eight to
14 foot knotlessleader tapering to a 4X to 7X tippet is perfect. Keep in mindthat your casting positions can be critical in determiningwhether your fly is snatched up boldly or ignored on springcreeks. Try different deliveries from several differentlocations to find which is best. Try quartering upstream acrossa downstream casts until you get just eh right float to fool aparticularly difficult trout.
Know what stage of insect the are consuming. This can varyfrom fish to fish and from minute to minute as the hatchprogresses. When the first mayflies appear, most feed onthe emerging insects drifting in the surface film as theystruggle to free themselves from their nymphal skins. Alwayscarry a good supply of emerger imitations when fishing a springcreek hatch.
