OK so I am bitching about the rain because it seems we get too much at one time and not enough the other times. The North Branch of the Susquehanna River is reaching flood stage from Hallstead downstream and the West Branch is still making nice. Penns has been up then coming down and now up and coming up as I write this. This will come to pass and we can get back to fishing this early Spring season, oh it is really not that early.
I would expect to see the Grannom's starting their annual migration to the shore any time, this usually consides with the blooming of the forsythia bush's, remember the bloom may not happen the same time as your back yard, it's still cold in the mountains. I just love this hatch on Fishing Creek because it is one of the first good hatches of the Spring, yes we have midges and olives but somehow this can get your blood going, also because the Hendrickson's usually follow in the afternoon. So just wait till this liquid falls and runs off then go fishing. I'm looking for a window of Tuesday or Wendsday of next week.
