Gin clear and low, like the rest of the local options. Managed 3 BT. 2 on small zebra's, lucky to get one to chase and eat a streamer. Fished the approved water in town.

My son's in laws live in the area. I'm dying to give it a try.

Nice, did you happen to get a water temp?

 

[Jeff3]

Unfortunately I did not. Stream thermometer was in a different pack.

fished this section for the first time (below illicks mill, same section- if I am not mistaken) the past weekend. got skunked but saw a few holding in the tails of some of the deeper pools. also spooked one tying on a new fly RIGHT below my feet under a rock cut when i moved to make my cast! don't ignore what may seem like "skimpy" water

When did you fish (date) and which county is this section located in?

We ask that such info be included in the thread title line as can be seen in other reports.
Thanks,

I'll include that next time. Depending on the side of the stream I stood on I was in both counties, the Creek is the boundary between the Counties. At least in Bethlehem. Looking forward to the Sunday rain!!!
