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!
nice pics guys and way to keep the rest of us posted. One of these days I am going to figure out how to take pics while fishing Dang.
