Spring & Penns Creek Updates

 Last week Spring Creek in the morning fished very well with #18 scuds and  #14 Walt's Worms, these are some of the best food sources for the trout. The trout at the old McCoy's Dam site were hanging around the banks and a dry dropped did the trick as did a scud in light pink with a red spot in the body (the rainbows love this thing). Water temp and levels are good for this time of the year but we still need rain badly. All morning  long I saw a good number of #16/18 Lt. Tan Caddis emerge and the fish keyed on them, remember this will be a great key to taking fish all summer and early fall- even on Penns.
  Penns on Sunday night in a not so great spot (GP's spot was taken by a guide and 2 clients), looked for Drunella spinners but not in good numbers to get all the fish up, here is the run down;
Larger light sulphurs #14
Potamantus (sp) emergers and duns #12/14 the fish chased the nymphs to the surface
Larger Yellow Stonefly adults crashing the riffles.
Drunella Spinners #16 (they look like a 14 but look at the kink in their body to determine length)
Slate Drakes #12/14 , the key to them is fishing nymphs in every area including backwater's.
  We found fish in areas where guys would just walk over, look before you fish, there could be one at your feet. Same pattern will persist for weeks, be perpared for a smaller Baetis to make and apperance near the 4th of July!
