Wish for water and you get this

Gees Penn's is running well above flood stage and every other stream is also blown out now, had 3.6" here at the house the other day. We can only hope a lot of this soaked in the ground and will be released in the future. Ground water release is the way Spring Creek is fed, Spring Creek Chapter of TU has a great informative booklet that explains the internal working of the watershed, very interesting reading and something that makes you think just how fragile our water systems are. Now is the time to get your 6,7 & 8 weights rods in shape for the Fall streamer season when the water falls but don't wait till it's total back to normal catch in at the cloudy and high level. Start with smaller streamers first them progress to bigger ones, black, olive, brown first in cloudy or dark days and white yellow on bright days and clearer water. A length of 3-4" is fine to start and get bigger very early morning or just before dark to get those really big boys to eat. Make sure you try different presentions not just the downstream and strip back to you, try and get your fly to do some different movements both across and then downstream just vary it and take note if the fish tell you something. Don't just do the same stuff that you always have done in the past, the really good fishermen will try new ideas and thereby push the envelope to catch more and bigger fish.
