Camped at Poe Paddy and fished upstream and downstream of there from Saturday (4pm till dark) till Sunday (8am till 1pm). Water temp was 65. Air temp ranged from upper 70s to mid 80s during the day with low to mid 60s overnight. Flow was around 200 cfs all weekend before the storms hit on Sunday evening. Even though it was low for this time of year the water clarity was perfect with a little bit of stain from recent rains so using 4x and 5x tippet didn't spook the fish. Infrequent hatches of sulphers, BWOs, tan caddis were observed on Saturday with no bug activity on Sunday. Saturday evening was the only time there was consistent surface activity. We spent most of our time nymphing but the browns were not targeting any specific fly/pattern/color which made us try alot of different flys. We had the most luck with a Sz 18 green jelly rope caddis emerger and Sz 14 copper BD jig head in varies colors. Between two of us we were rewarded with 50+ fish during our time spent of Penns. Most common size was 10" and biggest was an 18". I was surprised we didn't catch many fingerings
