Weekly Fishing Report

We fish every week somewhere or someplace. Of the five major rivers in the area: Spring Creek, Spruce Creek, Fishing Creek, Little Juniata River, and Penn Creek, we are bound to fish a few of those every week. Our goal is for you to be able to reference our site as a way to get an idea for how one or several of these rivers are fishing and what we were using that particular day. We won't put anything on this site that hasn't caught a fish that week. It seems like everything that we look at these days isn't up to date. Plain and simple if it isn't working we won't tell you it is. As we improve this site and continue to grow we would hope you all would send in some pictures of bugs and comment on what was working and where. That way we can continue to build a forum where all anglers can come and see what's working, and what's hatching all around us! 

Some big ol' golden stones on Penns Creek

Penns Creek:

Conditions - Water levels are a little low and river itself is very clear. Most of the fish are coming out of deep runs and pocket water where they can seek a little cover. 

Techniques - Nymph it! Big golden stones were all over the rocks and so were hendrickson nymphs. 

Hot flies - Golden stones - woven bead head stones, rubber leg stones size #6-10, Midges - Zebra Midges #20 and smaller , BWO emergers,  pheasant tail nymphs #18

** little stuff calls for little tippet go 6x

Spring Creek:

Conditions - Water is super low, looks like it dropped a foot this week alone. That being said the fish are still pretty active, especially for how clear it is.

Techniques - Nymphs were a good choice, but you have to stay small with your bugs and smaller with your tippet. 6x was by far out fishing 5x. Streamers were moving a couple fish but the pressure was high so the normally aggressive fish may have been put down. 

Hot flies - BWO CDC emerger #22, Pheasant Tail nymphs # 16, Krystal Bugger brown #8, Slump Buster olive #10
