I watched one vey large trout feed almost exclusively on emergers, he never did take a fly off the surface, only a head and tail rise showing his tail on every rise but never having his mouth show, my best guess is BWO emergers or nymphs just below the surface, I could not get within casting distance, I'll try again tonight! The water is in fine shape, some color but not much but it is on the high side and us short guys have trouble getting around to the mid pool risers.
One last note on the new Simms Vapor wading shoe- do not wear them in Penns- heck even with the aluminum star cleats they are totally useless, it's Spring Creek only for these shoes and back to felt for this guy in Penns.
Ok here is what you need in your fly box;
#16 BWO Emergers, Duns & Spinners (emerger colors vary with the stage of their emergence)
#14 Iso. Wets, Emergers & Spinners
#6/8 Dark & Yellow Stoneflies, bang them into the riffles
#14/16 Light & Yellow Cahills
