We decided to write this blog as a way of sharing some of our stories from past experiences fishing, tying flies, guiding, and traveling. Most of which are completely 100% true except for the names of people, some stories are slightly embellished and some are mostly made up. It's really for you to figure it out and for us to have some fun writing down some of the truly good memories we have had while immersed in fly fishing.

The Sulphur Hatch has Arrived on Spring Creek

Tonight Brian and I got a chance to fish to multiple hatches on Spring Creek with some success.  We wet our lines around 5:45PM and took several finicky fish on Tan Caddis patterns.  There were a lot of caddis on the water and I started noticing sulphur's above us in the air, crane flies hovering, and a moderate amount of blue-winged olives on the water.  After the caddis slowed down I switched to a size 18 Blue-Winged Olive and took a fair amount of fish but nothing of note on the measuring tape.  Following that, I switched to a Sulphur Dun pattern and took an additional 6-8 fish.  Most of the fish that we caught were medium sized Brown Trout but hey it's still fun catching healthy, well-fed fish.  









My uncle and father reported that they had great days on Penns Creek using a variety of Woven Stoneflies, March Brown, Grannom Caddis, Hendrickson, Red Quill and Sulphur patterns.  In other words, get out there and give it a try!  The season is young and moving in fast forward!
