Ahh...cold air is here, for a couple of days. Warm weather is coming back. I had a chance to fish on Penns this past week. She is a fickle woman (no offence to my fellow fisherwomem out there). I did not land a fish, I was only fishing dries. Dave Rothrock had the hot hand with 6 total, I think. He got his on dries. A friend Erick, got three on dries. I don't know what I was doing wrong. I got takes but no hook ups. "Gotta Set The Hook" I tell the clients. I should have had a mirror with me, and yelled at myself.
BWO's duns and spinners, Caddis and a small Stimulator were the flies to use. Water was in great shape after the rain.
Fishing and guiding on the Little J was good. Nymphing and Caddis dry fly fishing. The Caddis hatch started around 10 am and died off around 1:00 pm. You could find a group or one here and there feeding. Nymphing and wetfly fishing was good in the afternoon.
Time to fish today locally, and then head back out to central PA guiding. I on fishing a couple with Dave R. Will be trying to find an Iysonychia or Fall Caddis hatch.
