 The edge of Jack-Dam #1 |
A short distance below the ford, lies Jack-Dam #1. The lower wings of the dam were recently installed by a work party from Chestnut Ridge Trout Unlimited, Dunbar Sportsman's Club and Game Commission Workers. The Dam is the smallest of 5 Jack-Dams on Dunbar Creek and is the one most likely to provide dry fly action. Best results can be obtained by casting from below the pool, either into the boil, or to the top of the dam and letting the fly drift over the edge. The primary lie is almost dead center across the pool, about 3 feet from the edge. Let the fly drift all the way across the pool in various locations, as the fish frequently patrol and exchange positions all around the pool. The Picture in the lower left corner, shows a 10 inch brook and a 7 inch brown which are actively feeding in the primary lie of this habitat. | ||||||||||||
