Hello, all. I'm new here and haven't held a fly rod in about 6 years. Used to fish the Susquehannah below H'burg back then for smallies, and had a ball doing it. Well, we all know how that is going, so I'm interested in returning to another spot that a friend took me to years ago, the Clarion. Looking to go up there probably during the last week of July, looking to fish for smallies and trout.
Now I havent fished for trout much at all, most of my gear is for smallies( 6&8 wt rods&reels)
Is there good fishing around Cook Forest SP? That's where the family & I would camp
Taking 18 yr old son(who has fly fished before) & 15 yr old daughter (who hasn't) out on the water for wet wading. Mom stays ashore with her book.
Is my tackle too heavy for Clarion trout? If so, what do I need, and what flies would be good at the end of July?
Thanks in advance for any info!
