Now is the time to enjoy a morning of wild black raspberry's and #16 tan caddis on Penn's or Spring Creek, I snack on them going to the stream and when I am done walking back to the car. Tan caddis emergence is a morning thing and boy do the trout get on them all morning long, first emergers then adults. I fish an Iris caddis (#16 tan) at the start of the hatch and at some time will switch over to a bubble back caddis dry, I have a new pattern that incorporates legs and it lands right side up every time and seems to float very high on the waters surface. At some point I will take a video of how I tie it and post it. I don't fish soft hackles in Penn's much but will do it on Spring and Bald Eagle at start and mid morning till I see solid rising fish. This emergence will go on till October but sadly not the raspberry's! Some days my hands look as if I were crushing grapes for a living I eat so dam may of them. Spring Creek has the most berries and has a good strong hatch but Bald Eagle has the most fish that key on the caddis. Penn's has a good hatch but not in every section of the stream.
No Iso's in Coburn this morning but clouds of Pesudo's in the air, same as Fishing Creek in the summer. According to Greg Hoover they do fall to the stream surface so you better have a #20 black spent wing spinner in your box, Stan's bridge was just a cloud surrounding it.
Not much longer till the "Trico's" come off Spring and Bald Eagle that means morning Trico fishing and afternoon beetle fishing, a most wonderful time of the year. Nothing like plopping a black size 12 beetle and watch the wake come a inhale it, a great experience to have.
Stay away from Rock Road on Spring Creek next week they are doing a stream improvement project that I feel is a total waste on money, just take the stupid dam out at the "Rock" and you would have a much better flow upstream, compare it to what happened when McCoy's dam was removed- no one could believe how far upstream was effected by the dam removal. This section of Spring could use some bank work but if the water was lower it would be fine. Another Fish Commission bull shit action.
