Long live the Drake

I for one am glad it is over for another year, Jesus you would think everyone who has a fly rod has to flock to Penn's for the annual event and it shows, now this week we see the dead fish laying on the bottom. Why the hell do theses part timers play the hell out of the fish is beyond me, hell they use heavy tippet but maybe just rip the fly out of the fish and have them bleeding.
  Now the real fishing starts on Penn's, Drunella (old Cornuta), Slate Drakes both duns and spinners of each, Sulphurs which are mostly over but still remain, large Sulphurs and orange and very yellow duns, just to figure out what and the stage the trout are taking is the name of the game. If you see Drunella spinners and can't get them to take either move down to mid pool or a tail out or put on a Slate Drake spinner or look up and see Sulphur spinners, it is hard to key in on just what the trout are taking. Still just enjoy the peace and quiet of only the birds singing and not all those idiots yelling and talking loudly about the Drake.
   Be careful be very careful we are starting to see more and more rattle snake along the roads and stream banks of Penn's this year and some of them are not giving you any warning!
