I had a hunch that the conditions were just right for good fishing at Rocky Ford Creek, near Ephrata. Many fly fishers, me included, like to fish this mile-long spring fed stream in the winter. The water temperature from the spring is high enough that it doesn’t freeze, and the whopper rainbow in the Ford stay active throughout the colder months of the year. When I arrived at the first parking lot, I noticed a couple of anglers fishing the very upper end. I talked to one that said he had already caught and released a couple. I looked up and saw the person on the bridge set the hook on a fish and run down to the bank to land it. I shot a short video of him bringing it to the shore and releasing it without even touching the fish. Nice job. I like to fish the upper end, but far below the handicapped dock. There is good flow here, and although I am casting in the reeds and hang up my back casts sometimes, I usually get some dandy fish here. I like to strip in a Mini-Leech and Ultra Scud combo.
