Hey all-
Had off work Friday and decided to go up to Penns. I haven't fished up that way since May, so it was good to go back.
Flows: 240Cfs
Water Temp: Didn't get a read but felt like low 50s.
Weather: Blue bird skies
Time: 10A - 630P
I wasn't particularly hopeful of a banner day especially with the sun. Got to the spot and geared up, I decided to start out with a streamer and just prospect. I moved one fish pretty quick but no hook up. With the water being a little bit lower, the fish seemed to drop down into deeper holding water. Lots of usual places didn't produce. I made it down to a hole, and started picking up lots of hits on the nymph. I figured it was on to something, but could not get the fallfish to leave my fly alone. After sorting through what felt like a million fallfish, I caught a few browns on the nymph. Swapped back to a streamer and fished got some nice strikes and had a 16-17" brown on until I went to net him and he came off at the net.
Saw a river otter cross the creek, which was cool.
Went up stream a ways and missed a few on streamers. Lots of chases and tail biters. Nymphed the deeper spots and picked up some more browns and a bow (And of course more fallfish).
Decent day, had to work for them. Caught 7 or 8 browns, a bow, and 1 million fall fish. Not sure I'll count the one that came off at the net. No surface activity
