Rainbow Mystery Solved

Fished Penns Wed May 2 at GP's secret spot, "Korten's" both below and above, the rainbows are there also. Talked with a fellow that has a cabin and he informed me that the Fish Comm. is the one who stocked them, all in the 15 to 17" range and few larger but most in that slot. They seem to have spread out and really like the food factory that Penns offers. All that I saw was a sparse hatch of Gray Fox (this is what all the fish took), small and large stone flies, yellow crane flies and Invara & Rotunda (large sulphurs), most of the fish would come at least a foot to take a Gray Fox emerger. The sun came out and I drove to Johnson's to find rising fish, not many but 1 large brown and "2" rainbows, the bows have taken up residence mid pool and head and tail everything that floats to them, line the emerger up and they ate! The clouds came and the Invara/Rotunda hatch became more evident but sorry to say my time was up. Did see a few small sulphurs but it was too early for a good emergence. Summary is, if it's cloudy they are up all day if not it's an evening game, The entire stream is getting very crowded so be patient with your selection of where to fish, think a small not well know section to find peace and quiet.
