Penn's Creek, Centre County, Trophy Section, 4/6/2012

I did well early in the day. By noon, started at 11:00 I had about five. Four came from March Brown Emergers, and one on an ant. That was the end of the MB Emergers for me. Nothing touched them much after noon. My afternoon end evening success was all on Grannoms, except one on a beetle and one on a MB Dun. I had quite a few grannom patterns, but elk hair with a palmered hackle on the body was the only one they would touch. There were so many spent caddis on the water that I wish I had a better pattern. I did walk out to the "bubble line" at one frustrating time in the afternoon and saw three different caddis. Spent Grannoms, a small dark caddis, and a small tan caddis that was skittering in the surface. They were difficult to see, but I think the reason for the splashy rises. The sippers were obviously on the spent grannoms. That was my take on it at least.

Evening action was OK, but not awesome like two nights previous.
