Yep, what he said. Good report Martin. I too was there with the little woman. I warned her the fishing would not likely be terrific, but it is a sight to see, (Hear, feel whatever)
Ummm. That last image you have, to me is the key to good fishing. Every time I run into the Green Drakes, That dark caddis provides the bulk of the fish catching action for me.

I was also on Penns for the green drake on Thursday and Friday. Thursday's hatch was thick, but the fishing was sporadic. Friday's coffin fly spinner fall was also very thick and the fish were gorging all around me. Friday night I caught two rising fish at dusk on a green drake dun and two others later that night on a coffin fly durring the spinner fall. Overall, the fishing was decent, but not as good as I thought it would be. DaveS was right on, the caddis was a great fly for me on this trip, at times it was better than any form of green drake.

Nice job, Jeff!
That butterball in pic #1 is just awesome! Hope you took Carolyn out for a burger and beers at the firehouse for her excellent camera work. ![]()

Haha we actually checked out the Elk Creek Cafe instead of the firehouse. I know that is a violation of firehouse membership but that was her choice. I told her she was missing out on the classy experience the firehouse has to offer.
DaveS- I was tempted to switch to the dark caddis but was getting action on the rusty spinner but 20 to 30 mins before the drakes showed up there were caddis everywhere.

Nice job. I have a feeling Carolyn caught all the fish though and just let Jeff get his picture taken with them so that we didn't really break his a$$! We know who the fisherwoman is in that couple!

Being a part time farmer, I was somewhat disappointed after I opened this thread.
