Fished Big Fishing Creek this morning and the big boys were there just as they have been for every year in early season, along the bank mid pool and at the tail out, 16- 18" heavy bodied browns that take a #16 dark olive CDC & deer hair bubble back caddis floated over them using 5.5x Trout Hunter tippet! They take them in the morning when they are hatching then only a few will rise as the caddis move upstream for their mating later in the day, it's not really heavy but there are a lots of bugs- no Hendrickson's yet. The water is still high and cold as is Penns and Spring is still 149 cfs. at Axeman and that is just not comng down as fast as it should.
Helped with the Spring Creek TU clean up on Spring Creek last weekend and was happy to see the amount of people who helped, grade school, high school and PSU students and not just in a few areas they were stream side and along the road the entire length of the stream, must be social media but they get the people out to help and it's a special reg. stream so much for not cleaning open water! The next time your up in Bellefonte check out the old McCoy's Dam area and see the planting's that have been done and their is another work party this Sat May 2 to repair and add more vegetation to the bank on the far side of the stream. If your close to Fisherman's Paradise check out the additional stream bank planting's that were done in April, now there will be trees to help keep the stream cool in the summer, also check out the new parking lot's- now why could we not get something like that at Penns? Drive up and check out the parking area and planting's at the "Rock" area, these guys get stuff done.
Oop's almost forgot to tell you but the walk over bridge below Coburn is now under repairs and will have a new deck in the near future, now all we need is a structure and deck on the old "Bridge 19" above Poe Paddy if we had that we could have access via foot or bike to the entire creek (ok the tunnel is still closed?).
