Blue Eyes turn Brown

This afternoon/evening I ventured over to the Donegal Creek for a mid-summers try at some Donegal Brown Trout.  It was steadily raining and the temp was around 69 degrees.  Rather cool for August 18th.  The stream was low and extremely clear.  I saw a couple of Blue Herons flying around the creek partaking in a sushi supper.  They have the whole Susquehanna River not 1/2 a mile away, but continue to devour the poor Rainbow and Brown trout of the Donegal.  After cursing the Herons, I tied-on my newly created "Old Blue Eyes" nymphs and caught two Donegal Browns.  Not the biggest Browns in the world, but I am happy I caught them with my new nymphs :)  I'm going to tie some more of them bad-boys tonight!
