I hit the lower Letort yesterday for a few hours in the afternoon. It was cloudy when I started with air temps in the 70s. Only sporadic risers to minutia and/or terrestrials. Didn't notice any hatches. I picked up a couple small fish right off the bat on a yellow caddis larva. The action slowed. I went for about 45 mins without even a flash at my fly, then it started lightly raining. As soon as the rain started to hit the water, the fish went nuts. I was getting hits left and right. I had a really nice fish slam a nymph I was swinging in a tailout, but not hook itself. It continued to tail walk across the water for a few feet even after the hook came flying out. Another small brown went air born after a swung nymph and continuously jumped until I landed it. It must have jumped 10 times in about 20 seconds! It was nice to get out in some cool August weather, and I really enjoyed the rain action. Landed somewhere around 10 fish, give or take a few dozen. The cool air and drizzle got me excited for the fall streamer bite. Bring on the bruisers!
