Penn's will be fine now

Penn's will be fine now, think Iso's and Olives for the time being. The old Cornuta (now Drunella) will be on for a few weeks, emerging thruout the day and then mating in abslute epic spinner falls in the early evening, it's best if it is not a clear hot dry day. The duns tend to emerge T/O the day and tend to be in the margins of the stream, a slow steady upstream or down wade will reward you with many shots to either bank. The duns have a very bright green body when the first emerge and tend to get much darker as they try to dry their wings before taking flight, body color sometimes can make a difference but I tend to focus on form rather than specific colors, a smaller tied #14 with good wing exposure will do the trick. The spinners are another story, I carry strong #16's and short #14 spinners of various darker colors, black, dark olive and dark brown and use them as just a nightly decision!? The trick is to make sure you are not fishing near the riffles because of the wing beat they make as they fall upon the water to expell their egg mass, if you do you'll be ready to pull your hair out, mid pool to the tail out is where you want to be! Be perpared also for some Iso. spinners to be in the mix as will there be some left ofer Sulphur spinner falls at just about o dark thirty. The key to the spinners is to keep them floating flush in the film not high, keep your wing sparse and do use some foam over the wings to help them float well. Hey it's Cicada time aroung us, Lycoming, Loyalsock and Fishing Creek in Columbia Cty are prime just about now. If the North Branch of the river to lower try around Bloomsburg for the carp that close ot the banks near the Southern end of Bloom. or the lower end of Fishing Creek! Make sure that you A. have lots of flies with you, they tend to get beat up fast and make sure your not setting the hook to fast- give the carp time to get it down!
