I actually did fish an upper Savage River trib over Labor Day weekend. It was really low. There were tons of brookies though, in just about every possible holding lie. I literally could not stop saying "amazing" over the course of the day. 1) that the water was cold enough and 2) that they could hold in lies as shallow as they were. I mean seriously. Most fish were in less than 6 inches of water, and I doubt a single hole was deeper than 3 feet. Anything over 1 foot held fish. What did that mean for the fishing? It was tough. Some fish were able to spot me from 20 feet away if I approached from upstream. And that's on a stream where a long cast is 10 feet. So yeah, bring your knee pads. The upper Savage looked nice though, as did the lower. The lower would probably fish really well this time of year. I was tempted, but I had already fooled my wife into thinking our brookie exploration was a "hiking" trip, so I didn't push it.
