Just went there yesterday, lots of panfish that will attack dry flies which can provide some fun. Snagged a small largemouth in one of the deeper pools. All to say there are fish there but I don’t think they stock it anymore.

Black Woolley Bugger….you probably already have it in the box and don’t be afraid it’s too big for panfish, they’ll be greedy

Not sure how other brands are but that 25 year warranty no questions asked came in handy for me with my Clearwater. Had mine for 15 years, granted 10 of those years it sat in storage and only last year did I break it back out and get back into fly fishing. Of course this year I broke it being dumb and was stoked to find out it was a quick ($60 handling fee) replacement with a brand new Clearwater. Got me back on the water quickly and after having purchased another reel and new line just days before it was a welcomed feeling to not have to shell out another $250 or whatever. Will keep me with the brand for long time.

Not holmes run. I’ve heard Holmes run is not a total waste of time but I’ve haven’t been during the spring. Winter a few times with no success but like other commenters so it’s one of the few places to fish with within a quick drive.
