Little Black Caddis & We Lost a Big One

Fished Wed & Thursday at Big Fishing Creek in Lamar because it was just too nice not to, water up a bit but about normal for this time of year, water temp was 48.3(not bad but could have been better) the Forsythia are about ready to bust open and that is the sign that we will have the Little Black Caddis emerge- not quite yet! There was a small hatch both days starting about 11:00 AM and lasting till about 1:00 PM not great but just a start, the fish rose to them and took a size #18 dark olive black bubble back caddis imitation, both days I spent hours just sitting and looking and enjoying the bird songs just nice not to have tons of layers on and the sun out, look for the hatch to pick up in the next few days because of the warmer temps. I saw no sign of Hendrickson's, Blue Quills or Grannom's (you can tell if the cases are all around the shore margins), just a bit soon- think warmer.
  On Thursday I drove to Coburn just to get a good look at Penns and on my way downstream from Coburn below Stan's bridge and Teaman's cabin I was greeted with yellow no-trespassing sign's on the entire bend and below to within 50 yards of the walk over bridge at the Coburn Tunnel and on the other side of the stream! Well boys we lost a big chunk of access to Penns, saw one of the locals and asked him what the heck happened and he told me that two guys bought the land two years ago and have had numerous run In's with rude and manner less individuals not the least some of the "Guides" working for "The Crook" and others, the fellows told me that they park where ever they want and will think nothing of crowding someone out. The straw that broke the camels back was the new owners took their elderly dad of 80+ years up stream around the bend and got him in position during the Green Drake hatch only to be pushed and crowded out by these same guys who have no manners and now we see the results. Guys I have been saying this will happen some time or another if your not respecting the land owners and parking where you are not to or your a hog and not respecting some ones space when they are fishing- get smart because this will happen again and I can understand why. OK you say I have spots to fish that my be so till it gets sold and someone else sets the rules. These guys have every right to do what they did and I understand why, heck every year when I clean that parking lot I have other guys there just looking and sure as hell they never help, great for our sport! Told you so.
