3/11/08 Falling Spring
Cold and off-colored. Water was 48...Air was about 45-50. Had 3 passes but no fish. Which was surprising cause PAFB supposedly stocked in late Feb. The one I had on was definitely a wash down and was a little wild bow. A quick story: I was fishing this well known hole just above a bridge and had just started when straight down the center of the stream two male and one female malards came crashing at the head of the pool. I was like what the heck, for the next 3-4 min these three did some of the strangest things I have ever seen. The female would swim under water through the pool and pop out every so often and the males would then just pounce on her till she had enough then she would dart down stream and repeat, she looked like penguin at the aquarium. Anyways my shot at pulling one out there quickly faded to nothing.

Off-colored, Water 49.5 Air 56. Midges were hatching all afternoon and the bite was on. Ended up with 6...Mostly bow.. 1 brown. My buddy did the same. Well long story short, PA has made me a believer when they said "Bigger Trout". All I can say is and it may or may not be the same everywhere else is WOW. We caught 7 over 18"+ No lie.. No photographs..
