Hey it's still too hot to fish but the Swarm fellow just keeps tripping over his own words, now he's on the brook trout- go figure? With the lowered water levels and the intense heat it is best to leave the trout alone even night fishing make no sense. If you really want to kill trout go to the stocked sections and hook and play them and for heavens sake take them home but don't waste them.
The white fly is on the river below the Fiber Dam in Sunbury, just look at the East end of the bridge along the road and you'll see piles of the spinners in the mornings. I have not been down to see the activety yet but based on the past three years I'm not willing to stand in the river and wait to see nothing rise! most people do not know that the white fly is a hatch that occurs on the edges of the river and doesn't reach the middle section! If your standing in the middle your too far out, fish the 1/3 from the banks. The North Branch side seems to have the strongest activety. If anyone sees strong activety, drop me a line and I'll wade out and sample it, even the channel cats can be fun, they are easy to spot because of their habit of making a "V" as the move upstream taking flies off the surface.
Years ago we would load up a car or Russ' old jeep and make the trip to Falling Springs and fish the Trico hatch/spinner fall, then go to Big Spring or The Letort and fish scuds or beetles and end the day fishing The White Fly on The Breeches, then drive home- not gonna happen at this age, hell we'd fall asleep at dinner before going to The Breeches.
