Water water
This past week was a good one if you like trying dry fly conditions, meaning what the heck are they eating at any given time? I saw a multi. emergence events the days I was on stream. At this point in time you really must just stop casting and pay attention to what the fish are telling you, in the rif's it was March Brown's and in the tail outs it was Grey Fox's, in the evening below the riffles and mid pool it was Sulphurs it all is dependent on where and when you are at any given time. This Friday we had 2" of rain at our home but it was a pretty gentle rain and not a sudden event so our streams might just hold up. I know some guys are hyping it up for the Green Drake and high water and yes I remember when Jim Leathers and I fished at Johnson's during a very high water event we only leaned over the bank and did very well just casting a few feet up or down the bank only ever getting in the water in a very few places BUT be careful remember that waders do fill up with water very fast when you not wearing a belt and even if you have one on it's not easy to right yourself.
I am still seeing a ton of guys on the stream and parking is getting to be a real issue, seems as if we are seeing no manners both parking and on the stream. I had some ass hole come down stream after I landed a few fish and he just kept getting closer and closer till he was on top of me, I did not explode but got out and moved. We need more golf courses to get these ass holes off the streams.
It's hurry up and wait for the Drakes and I for one will not be anywhere in that mess but go if you want BUT remember the rules about fishing after dark in the C&R section of Penns.
