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.

Weekly Fishing Report

For everyone out there who is curious to what is exactly going on these rivers well here is the update you have been waiting for! EVERY river continues to fish well.


Kirk nymphing a good stretch on Spring Creek


Little Juniata River:


Hatches: Sulphurs!! Tan and Olive Caddis.
Patterns:(Dry) GT Sulphur emerger #14, Sparkle Dun #14, Elk Hair Caddis Tan and Olive #16
(Nymph) Pheasant Tail #14-16, Bird of Prey Caddis #16, Zebra Midge Red or Brown #20
Techniques: If they aren't boiling on top look for the channels and the plunge pools and bounce some nymphs off the bottom.. But seriously the water is boiling with trout. No need to nymph.


Spring Creek:


Hatches: Sulphurs, BWO's, Tan Caddis, and Midges oh my!
Patterns: (Dry) Sparkle Dun Sulphur #14/ BWO #18, X-Caddis Tan #16-18
(Nymph) Pheasant tail #16, Trina's angel case sulphur #16-18, Williams Cress Bug #16, Olive scud #18
Techniques: Look to mix and match dries, the fish are changing what they are feeding on depending on the bugs. I caught fish on BWO's sulphurs and tan caddisflies on thursday.


Penns Creek:


Hatches: March Browns, Sulphurs are starting; Hendricksons, Quill Gordons, and grannoms are about done.
Patterns: (Dry) Sparkle Dun March Brown #10, Rusty Spinner #14
(Nymph/wet) March brown wet #12, Pheasant Tail #14-16, Hares Ear #14, Walt's Worm #14-16
Techniques: Blind cast some March Browns to dead falls and structure. You may be able to tease a couple of fish to the surface. Swing some wet flies and bounce those nymphs on the bottom. The fish are hungry and gearing up for some of the bigger hatches!


Hendrickson on Fishing Creek
Fishing Creek:


Hatches: Tan and Green Caddisflies, Some Blue quills and hendricksons remain.
Patterns: (Dry) X-Caddis Tan #16, Green #14, Blue Quill Spinner #16
(Nymph) Green Weenie #14, Golden Stone #10, Pheasant Tail #14-16
Techniques: Focus on nymphing now. The water is super low and the fish aren't as active as they were during the grannoms. Seek the big deep runs and go deep with golden stones and weenies. Look late for some Blue Quill spinners.
