Flying Smallmouth

Fished both Friday and Saturday nights with different results but one big problem exists on Penns. Friday night was a Johnson's and the trout were up and eating, first in order was Iso spinners follwed by the Drunella spinner and finaly at dark and small tan caddis. I took a position in the mid pool and had the water to myself, let the guys in the riffles try to imitate the spinners movement, not so much! There are are few really good trout feeding, not hard to spot them but every once in a while some of the rise forms result in a smallmouth bass! I'm not against bass but not in my trout stream. The night was a very fullfilling one with good company on the bank and hatches that are consistant, so much in fact I decided to go Saturday night.
  I arrived at the parking lot with ten other cars but soon discovered as we have seen a few of the cars are walkers and people riding bikes. I wanted to check the Fish Comm. Cabin pool because you can always find a few good fish on the bank, not so much as I waded and took a few small browns off the bank, got above the cabin and decided to go down stream and fish the Hepner Hole, off I went. The fish were taking Olive spinners in the roffle feeding the pool and remember the beating wings? I went to the tail out where there were a ton of fish up, one really good trout on the far bank in the back water all the rest- 12 were smallmouth- if this trend keeps up they will creat hell on the small trout and we will have a popluation of a few large trout and a ton of smallies. I wanted to see if they know how to fly and tried a few out, poor fliers and I could not find them to lead them to the water, I guess maybe everyone should try it. This is a direct result of the warm water conditions that have been the norn in the past years and they usualy don't actively feed on top till May & June, the problem is getting very apparent, at the bottom of the Cabin Pool there are at least 8 of them feeding! Hey it's our beloved Penns and if we can't do anything about the barbary maybe we can teach some bass to fly.
