Codorus update?

[sipe]

Next weekend I'll be introducing a new flyfisher to the sport and will likely head to codorus. I haven't been since January and got skunked. Last summer I was having a blast catching on generic nymphs, pink worms, etc. has anyone been there lately? I'll be near the sawmill. Thanks!

I fished it for a few hours Sunday evening. I caught a few fish, but it was tough. Recent storms/high water have changed the stream a fair amount this spring as far as I can tell, especially from the saw mill upstream. I saw a few bugs but nothing to get excited about. Fair number of midges but didn't see any fish rise while I was there. A lot of flow but good color.

I only live about 10 minutes from there. Fished it on May 11th. Caught 5 small wild browns on beadhead pheasant tails. Been hoping sulphers would start soon but nothing yet. Firstcap is right, the rain so far this year done a good number on changing the stream some. I checked it around 2pm today and water was clearing nicely and dropping.

I'll hope for no rain and lower flows. Thanks for the advice.

Sipe,

Although I love Codorus, it may be a bit tough for beginner. As you know, there is not a lot of casting room. This could get frustrating for someone just starting out. I would recommend maybe the Breeches. There are lots of fish and if we get the rain they are calling for, you can still fish the run. Once your friend is a bit more comfortable with the fly rod, then bring him to Codorus.
