I fished in the afternoon, fishing upstream a ways from the Meyers Run Rd bridge, in Moshannon State Forest.

The water was at a medium flow level and 56F around 4 pm.

There were some small bugs hatching which I couldn't identify, and a few large fall caddis. I fished mostly with Stimulators, and also a Grey Fox Variant.

The stream is about 25 feet wide in this area. Many people go to the delayed harvest area on Black Mo, but I think some of the other sections further down in the state forest are more enjoyable.

The fishing was not real fast, but I caught some. About 3 stocked browns, a similar number of small wild browns. Also caught a few small native brookies, and missed a bunch more.

I saw a bear cub along the road as I was leaving, and about 8 deer.

There were a lot of people out enjoying the fall weather, but I saw no one else trout fishing on Black Mo Creek.
 
Nice report, I agree that the stream is more interesting to fish downstream of the DH section. Have had mixed results there but always enjoy the surroundings.
 
Sounds like a pretty good day. Better fishing wise, then I had at Valley on friday, but I was doing a fair bit of exploring.
