Fished Penns on Tuesday and again found most of the trout mid morning in the soft seams just taking Paralep spinners (#20 dark olive spent wing ), you could just look down a seam and spot the fish taking them, yes there was some fish taking tan caddis and you could spot them fast. All you had to do is find a seam and line your fly floating downstream to take the spinner sipping guys. The caddis taking fish were different at least 75% of them missed the fly the first time and they were dead drifting? If a fish missed your fly just pick it off the water and hit them on the head ASAP, it worked to some degree but not every time, the caddis guys were just in one of those moods? Before I fished I stood on the foot bridge below Coburn and watched an eagle slowly fly down stream over me and then head back up stream and land in a dead tree just below me but on my way in I almost hit one on the road as I came around a corner coming in from Milheim, I guess it was looking for road kill? According to the locals this mature pair have had "2" offspring and all are doing very well, never saw that 40 years ago!
Give Penns a try and remember to have those #20 spinners in you box just in cast you see them on the water.
For you guys who do not know what Paralep's are we call them summer blue quills and on Big Fishing Creek they never seem to fall when your there.
