Last Week

  Fished Penns last week and noticed as soon as I arrived it was clear as it gets, perfect for fall Midges in Johnson's pool but I was up stream. With the low clear conditions stalking each fish was the order of the day
and long accurate cast's had to be done! It was one of those days when the fish took about everything but keyed on nothing but Midges, a small Dun Caddis, Oct. Caddis, or Iso's were taken but the Midge feast was on. A size #20 Grif's Gnat did the trick but you had to have a great float or they would not even look at it.
  A word about fishing with someone, why fish with another guy if all they do is go far away and their is no conversation, only a recap after it's over. I'm not saying that every time you need to be close, stay away if the fish are in a fedding frenzy, but if it's tough it really helps to fish leap frog style. If you fish leap frog you get to learn and compare casting and float tech's, it also helps with spotting fish, I know that it has helped me over the years to become a much better caster and a far better angler than I could have become on my own. Leap frog goes like this, two guys take 2 or 3 rods rigged with different choices, they take turns either catching a fish or missing one, you learn much more this way, yea you still catch a lot of fish but your experience is much better, try it and you'll see it works. If their is a full blow hatch and fish are going nuts, OK go your ways and compare notes, I can tell you when you fish close to someone all day you become someone who does not tell number stories or over estimate the lenght of the fish.
  Update of some items;
Loon Lotcha float, does not seem to make much difference with CDC or anything else for that matter- back to Aquel
UV thick and thin finish from Loon, got the new bottle and it still comes out tacky! Tried some Clear Cure Goo Hydro and guess what, that shit came out tacky, WTF? I'm using a new UC light with new batteries, any suggestions?
