Floated the Casselman from Markleton to Fort Cherry on 4-27.
We put in about 10:30 and took out around 3 pm. Very hot, approaching upper 70s. Didn't take water temperature - sorry.
Had never fished there before, but was duly impressed with the water
And scenery - quite lovely!!
Got skunked, but my buddies caught some some bass. Tried nymphing for awhile then switched to hammering the banks with a black bugger to no avail. Very little foot access in this section as the river runs away from roads - kinda reminded of western waters.
Only saw a few caddis and a couple of mayflies - either an olive or maybe a blue quill. Turned over some rocks , but not a lot of bug life, some stoneflies, caddis larvae and sporadic nymphs. Wondering how
Fertile the river is. Never enjoyed getting skunked as much! Time to float the Yough now.
