Duneland Flyfishers are just back from a weekend getaway to the Brookville Tailwater for some top notch fly fishing. Brookville Tailwater originates from the Brookville Dam, witch creates the Brookville Resivoir. The Brookville Dam is a bottom feed dam that keeps it's spill water at a constant cool temperature year round.
The year round cool water makes the Brookville Tailwater ideal trout habitat. The Brookville Tailwater is home to good numbers of both rainbow and brown trout.
We camped at the Brookville Mounds State Recreation Area. It was a very accommodating campground.
The Brookville Tailwater is very fly fisher friendly. The tailwater is mostly knee deep with hard rock bottom. The water is clear and very cold. Because of the cold water temperatures a good pair of waders with felt soled boots are required.
The weather over the past weekend was very hot and humid with high temperatures in the low 90's. The hot temps put the trout down a bit, but we still managed to catch some trout.
The bulk of the catch was brown trout with a few rainbows mixed in.
The average Brown Trout was 10 to 14 inches long, but there where many 20 plus inch Browns spotted and a few caught. Here is Dave with a bruiser. He caught 2 others of the same caliber.
Leona had the hot stick this past weekend she out fished most of the men. Here are a few of her Brown Trout.
The area around Brookville Indiana is very scenic and Brookville Lake is beautiful.
Here is a group shot of the Fly Fishers at the camp ground.
Here is a shot of a tranquil last morning on the water.
