Tie flies that's what to do. You know that you need Iso. nymphs, emergers and spinners, Drunella spinners, ants and large black beetles- so get to it. I've been tying some new expermintal scud patterns for the Winter months along with some Iso. emergers for use when the water does go down. This week it will be White Deer or any other mountain stream, for me it will be some of the smaller limestones in the State College area not big fish just really nice conditions and it you tone down your rod selection to a 2 wt. the smaller guys give you a great fight. Had to break down and not use the Sharkskin lines for a time, they just overload the rod if you use the same weight line the rod is rated for, they are one strong line size overweight. I do not like to mismatch lines and rods- going back to SA Mastery Trout lines and know how they work with the rods that I have.
I'll report on the small streams but will not name them. Yes Jim Penns has larger fish but how much time do you really have on it with our 2 year weather pattern of rain?
