Thats a great place to fish but the lake gets overlooked by flyfishers there are some huge fish in there with all that vegetation it's like a scud farm and the fish get huge . There were always some huge brookys camped out in front of the out flow pipes that start the run on the same side as the lake you could stand on the road and fish to them . I even saw a musky in there one day . I also learned about the redhook fly way back in the early 80's this guy from Allentown was fishing the run and just knocking the snot out of em like every cast . I had to see what he was using it was nothing more than a streamer hook bent zigzag fashion and wrapped with red thread and then a coat of fingernail polish he fished 2 on a dropper nymph style . He claimed he used it all over the comonwealth with great success even landing 5LBER UP ON SPRING CREEK . Over the years I have enhaced this fly with abeadhead and a lasrvalace clear body to let the red thread/floss to show thru I tie them in size 10 and 14 I call it the Godfather fly cause you give them an offer they cant refuse . I also tie them in an array of colors by the way he was using this setup in August cause I was there for the whitefly hatch . The yellow breeches angling club is a coop hatchery that greatly bolsters the fish population down there stocking alot of trout right thru the season .I am all for stocking and I wish these tuers would bud out so we could catch some decent sized fish and not the dink sized natives that you catch now on these so called native streams . Placwees like slate run and cedar run that were once stocked now only yield dink sized natives with a 12 incher being a giant fish . THE LITTLE LEHI haS A GREAT POPULATION OF WILD BROWNS AND IT IS STILL STOCKED HEAVILY SO i FAIL TO SEE WHAT DAMAGE STOCKING HAS . All these big so called natives that people catch are stocked fish that hold over from years ago and they get trapped in a catch and release area were they live to ripe old age with a mouth ful of sores by getting repeditly caught over and over again . I can remember before the trout stamp the creeks would get stocked every week right up to memorial day and we did not have to pay for a trout stamp .
