Are back to 2011 Weather Patterns?
After a long and wonderful prolonged pre Spring and actual Spring it seems as if the Green Drake has raised it's ugly side and given us a return to 2011 weather patterns. Our streams were so nice this year, low and fish able with cold nights to keep the water temperature down, great complex hatches to test our skills now Penns is at 2700 cfs and it might go higher. Yes the Drakes hatch in very high water and the trout are easier to catch but any attempt to wade is foolish at best. Our beloved Sulphurs are on hold till the water returns to a descent level. Penns is not a straight up and straight fall down like Spring and Bald Eagle, it is a long slow process that can be helped with strong winds to achieve maximum evaporation, not seeing that pattern develop. Looked at Spring Creek on Saturday and it was packed with people just waiting for the Shulphurs to hatch, not till 6:45 PM, sad to say grab a spot and hold off all comers, we need more water for all of us. Has anyone tried to park in the FFF parking lot at Penns, you need a number on the weekend. We need the Drake to come and go so we have a return to the water without the crowds.
