Fished Wed April 4th from 10:00 AM till about 2:00 PM, Grannoms were heavy in the morning, typical of them sporadic rising fish but nothing really to target. Took a few fish by hitting them on the heads just after they took a natural off the surface, most all the fish are really nice size, about 11:00 AM started to see some head and tail rise forms and the Hendrickson were just coming off from mid stream over to the far bank, line the fly up and time it correctly and they ate it. I took 3 really fine fish, 1 brown not far off the bank that was a solid 19", another brown of 17" and a rainbow at 17" all were in great shape with no mouth marks! At about 1:30 the Hendricksons were gone and so were the fish.
The wife told me to get out of the house on Sat while she prepared Easter dinner so off to Penns, arrived about 10:00 AM the the Grannoms were still in the air and the fish were up, same as Wed. This time I took a few nice browns and 2 more rainbows, I'll attach a video of the larger bow. I barley could get my hand around the fish to hold it a solid 18" heavy fish and that was the second of the day. OK where did all the rainbows come from, I have heard that many more have been caught and they do not appear to be hatchery guys, our best guess is that they came from Dr. Lewis and Russ Bowersox's ponds because of their body weight and great shape. You do not see hatchery trout in that shape with the massive body weight these guys have, well thanks guys for the thrill.
The Hendrickson are now coming off at about 3:00 PM and the spinner fall occurs about 45 mins before dark, OK Tuesday we shall see how well they are taking them.
