water was nice and cool-- wet waded

not much bug activity to report; a sulpher or two, a caddis or two, lt. cahill (small--14 or 16) or two and some cream midges

fished from 630 pm to 905 pm, left when a godzilla skeeter about took my neck off!!!

landed 4 fish:
rainbow, 11 inches-- size 18 tan caddis--soaked with floatant and frogs fanny, leader greased--it was like a cork!!!! missed 2 others on the dry

cream sucker spawn: brookie--12 inches and a rainbow 12 inches

flying nymph (sky blue outfitters--good fly given to me by Rick Nyles???) 11 inch wild brownie

there was a slight spinner fall at about 9 pm.....darker bug--maybe a march brown

I was expecting to see alot of risers, but that wasn't the case

fished 2 areas and caught fish at both places

The Earl Township recreational area is a joke...........they boxed off alot of property along Manatawny Road and parking is slim to none........and the lot they left for anglers can hold maybe 3 vehicles......There was another vehicle in the lot when I left and I had a hard time getting my 4 door nissan pick-up truck out.......If I was in my Armada, I don't think I would have gotten out with the other vehicle there......if you walk upstream, there is a small picnic table and grill..........but you have to look for it.....
