Wow they are all on now!
April 11th found me on Penns again from 1:30 till 5:30 PM, wind, rain, sleet/hail and snow all day long, water temp of 49 , air temp of 49/54 and the fish ate big time. Hendricksons, Gray Fox, March Browns and Yellow Crane Flies take your pick. They ate Hendricksons then Gray Fox but seemed to avoid the March Browns which is typical when they first are on the water, did not see any fish take the Crane Flies. When the wind was blowing is was best to get out and stand on the bank but when it was calm they ate, the wind drove the duns to the shore and the South shore was just full of rising fish. Took 11 good browns, see attached video of the largest. Yes the big guy under the tree was up and I did get 3 good floats over him but no takers. Looks as if the "3" week early is holding. We will see Sulphurs in about 2 weeks then the stupid Drakes (brings too many people) after that the Summer Olives will be on about May 30th boy will that mess with a ton of people. Was going to stay for the spinner fall but the rain and hail just rolled in about every 15 mins.
Enjoy the video and be safe on the first day on the open water
