Tried to do Penn's again but Coburn was full at the old rail road bridge and the flat above it is a great Drunella (Cornuta) spinner spot. I decide to try Fishing Creek, not crowded at all BUT as I pulled into the parking spot near the top bridge "2" cars pulled I, one in front and one behind! One was a guide from Western PA and the client was from Ohio, he asked if it was OK to park and I said as long as I know where your going to fish and he looked at me in a huff, such a ass hole needs to grow some manners! Never would I have ever though of pulling in that close to someone. I was going to leave a note on his Ford Escape (dark blue) but I did not. He wore a brimmed hat and looked like a Amish fellow, just rude.
The fishing turned out to be really good and NO one was near me all night, small tan caddis were the item of the night, yes there were Sulphurs but not enough to turn them on, oh maybe later close to dark but catching wild brown was the name of the game. Got one small Brook Trout that had the wild color- not stocked. The browns jumped on a #16 Tan Bubble Back CDC caddis, I did notice that either I really did not do a good job of debarbing the hooks or they took it that hard because I had to destroy some flies to get them out of their mouths. I also noticed that the deer hair I used on the smaller flies was not very stiff and seemed to become soft and not able to be gotten back in shape! All in all a very nice evening, the sun stays off the water there most of the afternoon and evening so it's not turning off the trout. There are about all sizes you need to have a good time a 15" fish there gives you a great fight and is in perfect shape. Need to tie a lot more of that pattern, you can YouTube CDC Bubble Back Caddis to see it. From now on this caddis will be very important through out the days.
