Wanted to fish Bald Eagle Wed. moring but the first area was occupied by another angler and the wind was blowing hard and it was cold! We drove around looking for another spot but with the wind none of them were protected enough to allow a good Trico spinner fall. OK back up and go to Spring Creek above the crap plant in Bellefonte, fish were up not strong but up they were. We arrived at 8:00 AM, with the cold and windy conditions we hit the time correct, water temp was 55.4 !!!!!!! and the air temp. was at 67 not that nice at all to have a small leak in the butt of my Patagonia waders. It took the fish a while to get on the spinners, we did see heavy dun hatching but they were not on them. To say that we had a good day was twisting it a bit, caught a ton of fish but you might have had to put 5-6 of them end to end to get to 24" in total length, with the windy and cold conditions it was worth it to get hours of casting accuracy done. Yes we did take some nice fish but there was just not a heavy spinner fall to get all the fish up, oh well just have to go again on Sunday morning- dam?
Take a look at your streams current condition and you'll be happy to see that given the fact we did have a hot summer the streams seem to have come thru it well and the fish are healthy, this will make for a great fall.
