Pickering Creek, Chester County, 5/25/09

I fished Pickering in the DHALO section for a few hours this evening. Water was clear. Air temp was ~78. Fish were taking midges in the early evening. I then caught several on a bugger just before sunset. A good sulphur hatch came off right at dark. There were only a few sporadic rises, and I couldn't manage to get any to take my imitation. After fishing for 10 minutes in near darkness, I decided to call it a night. The fish were very selective with midges; however, I'm sure they've seen quite a few fisherman the past three days.

Nice, Any decent size to any fish? And hows the count holding up there?

I did not catch any over 13"; however, I did see a few larger fish. There seemed to be a decent number of fish left. I caught 6 in a row out of one riffle.
