Fished the FFA area on Penns today, not much hatching and darn few fish taking on top, water still high and very forceful to battle. If you have a chance walk to the R.B. Winter cabin and watch the pair of snapping turtles that are mating in the pond, by accounts this is an every year occurance and worth the walk. When your there look across the stream and see the pair or Orieols that are flying in and out of the trees and the stinking barbary that has taken over the entire southern shore of the cabin pool (or Alumillers Flats, named for the homestead that was there many years ago). Talked to some very good fishermen and they told me that not much has happened on top this past few days, taking all fish on small nymphs and a few on streamers.
I tend to look for the bank huggers at this time of year, you'll find some really good ones just along the banks in the flat glides at the ends of the pools, they just attack the March Browns and Grey Fox's as they come down stream, nice easy wading and nice takes. The water just might be a bit cool yet to get the trout looking up but it just might be the week it breaks.
Don't forget this Wed May 18 is the R.B.Winter Chapter of Trout Unlimited fish out and cookout held at Bowersox cabin just off the Weikert Road before Cherry Run, Briar Lane. See you there.
