I had a rough day on the Lehigh yesterday too. I was wading in the gorge below Rockport from 930am-230pm. Unbelievably I didn't see or hear one rise in that entire time. Literally not one, and there were plenty of bugs in the air. I started with a dry/dropper but got no action so I switched to tight lining a couple of nymphs. Was fortunate enough to hook two, a rainbow and a brown, but both managed to break loose before I got them to the net. But it was game set match when the wind rolled in around noon. The wind was a precursor to the stormy cold front that came through around 6pm, so maybe that was the reason the fish shut down (that's what I'm telling myself, lol). Anyway... it was good to get out on the big river and ride my bike on the trail, but it's never good when the highlight of a day fishing was the streamside lunch.
