It's that time of the year and they are here, Little Black Stoneflies "Taeniopteryx nivsalis" are everywhere, check out www.troutnut.com for a wonderful photo showing what the nymph looks like. Spotted the first one on my garage and more followed soon, the gulls were here on the river eating every one they could get. It just might be a bit early for Penns because it's frozen over in most spots but Big Fishing Creek, Spring and Bald Eagle have them. It's time to break out your #14 & 16 black stonefly nymphs and hit the water, the adults do ride the water but it's very hard to spot rising fish because they ride on the water so low and the rise forms are subtle. Our weather is not in our favor till next week but if you can spare a few hours go, at least one trout is better than sitting on your ass. Yea it's cold but that's what they make cloths for and remember the Patagonia R-1 gloves, they are killer.
Check out Flyfish Food web site, they are now chucking around a 3 part tandem streamer!
