Neshanock Creek, Lawrence County, May 2,2012

Fished from the clifts back up the creek about 1/2 mile, 5:30 P.M.-8:00 P.M.. Air temp. was 79 deg, water was 66 deg., low and almost perfectly clear. Very little bug hatching, couple of big sulphurs and caddis, almost no surface activity and only 5 fishermen from lower clifts to the Volant Fly shop. Caught 3 all rainbows, one about 14"-15" all on soft hackle nymph, brown body with bronze wire (March Brown-like), #16 about 15"behind a BH hares ear. Creek is pretty weedy already.

One other guy had good luck with a zebra midge and sucker spawn.

Good report. I would guess that the cahills and march browns will start to pop here any day. The brown drakes will probably be early as with all the hatches and may hit in the next 2 weeks. I love hitting the spinnerfall of the drakes. Always gets the fish looking up.

Thinking about hitting it early Sunday...anyone else going to be there...not sure if they got any of the rain. Washpa certainly hasn't.
