Hit Darby Creek in Delaware County today (about 30 minutes west of Philadelphia). To my surprise, not a whole lot of folks on the creek. I suppose since the "opening" of the season was two weeks ago, traffic on the water has somewhat died down. Was great just to get out for a few hours and enjoy some peace and quiet on the water. After a long work week, there's nothing like working some inline spinners along the rocky bottom of a creek bed. Just me, my hip waders and the trout.:icon_cool:
