Fished Penns today, water at 42.2 degrees and 542 cfs flow, just a bit on the high side to fish nymphs effectively without using a ton of weight. Found good numbers of trout holding in the softer riffles in about 3-4 ft. of water and could get the Copper John down in their zone easily but used an across and down drift, none of that bobber or upstream stuff. Weather was nice till the WIND came and did it ever, could not get any drift without it putting a big belly in the leader, oh well had enough. There were tons of midges flying around but not one rise, just too early this year. Today was nice and that is part of the problem, trout don't have eyelids and really don't care much for the sun, fish early or late when it's out. We are about 7-10 days away from a solid rise, keep watching it will happen hopefully in the week days not the weekend.
This past month every bad weather day has been a 10 on Spring Creek with the Olive emergence, good days none bad weather they come all day, also not many people when it's bad.
Hey Bruce it's the tunnel not the bridge, stop giving people bad advice. The tunnel at Poe Paddy will be close due to rocks falling off the ceiling until the DEP can come up with a fix. Count on the road near Swift Run getting over run with cars if everyone has to part there to get to the top of the FFF area, you Lewistown and State College guys will have it rough for 2013 and beyond it the can't fix the falling rocks!!!!!!
