GO FISH!

Penns Creek is still well above its normal flow.  Spring Creek is a little above normal and most of the streams west of State College did not receive as much rain, so those streams will be result in better fishing.  I'm going to keep this post short and sweet.  It's going to be another beautiful day tomorrow.....GET OFFLINE AND GO FISH!


Need a reason, here is a few shots of a big brown that my father sent me from a recent fishing trip with one of his friends!  Another fisherman commented from upstream, "I think he's hooked into a tuna!"

 

Phenomenal Fishing this past Week!

This past week offered amazing nymphing and dry fly fishing on the streams.  To top it off, it ended on Sunday with us getting some much needed rainfall (The heaviest rainfall happened well after the hatches were over).  Sure the stream levels on Penns, the Little J and Spruce are flowing above normal, but it will all pay off throughout the summer months.  

The Sulphurs continue to be heavy on most of the streams and I am seeing a varying number of Light Cahills on Spring Creek on a nightly basis.  I caught close to 35 fish using a parachute Light Cahill and the following night in Milesburg I caught a majority of the fish on a yellow Sulphur comparadun.  Sunday night there was a larger spinner fall and I switched to using an orange Sparkle Dun.  It's been a lot of fun tying a variety of Sulphur/Light Cahill/Crane Fly patterns and putting them to use the following fishing trips.  If you have a variety of those flies tied you should have adequate ammo to cast to a majority of the rising trout.  

It looks like the rainfall is to continue through Wednesday and let up on Thursday so you can have some luck throwing cone head Olive Slumpbusters depending on the water levels.  Either way a rainy day on the streams beats a bad day at the office!

Tight lines! 

It was raining, sorry for the blurriness!
