I told you about them

Remember that I told you to be on the lookout for flying ants, well it happened not once but on a couple of days. Just after we had that last tropical storm and the sun came out so did the ants, #16 Black ones and the entire surface of Penn's was just a delight to see, very nice fish were up and eating really well. A guy from State College that posts on Youtube also had the same experience and he was just below the tunnel and in "broad waters" and down to the "braids" but he was also using green inch worms to fool some fish. Those guys fished in the shaded areas with the inch worms and in the sun with ants while I just stuck with ants, wow what a time to be on Penns! Saw some small caddis and very few olives (of course the sun was out) but the main menue item was winged ants, nothing really hard to imitate. Some black fur in two balls with the back ball a bit longer than the front some clear winged material like Zelon and a turn or two of black hacke at the waist nothing more is needed. The key is to use a long leader with 5.5 or 6x tippett and get in the rythm of the rise and hold on because they take ants really well not hesitation at all if you match the size and have the wings, bingo your on. Maybe we might see another fall if the sun come out well and the winds is not a factor- Wed. the 25th might be it!
