Saucon 5/6/11 Lehigh county

[Fredrick]

Me and Seanc meet up on the TT section of the Saucon today . We fished from 10 to 2 with good results nymphing . There were some tan caddis coming of all through the day but not any risers . Key flies were micro nymphs and small caddis larva

Great little stream. Fishes great when the flows are up a bit. Fish were cooperative in the gin clear water. For me Long Line nymphing with the curly was the ticket.

I am hoping to be there at some point this weekend. Glad you had success.

SeanC what's a curly? (hovering over tying bench, waiting for ingredients and specs)

 

[kyle1248]

I'm pretty sure the curly is a type of indicator.

It is an inline strike indicator that is a piece of curled mono tied into the leader system. Much more sensitive than a indicator that is attached to the leader.

Yeah long line nymphing comp style definitely made the difference for the day I just wish there were more rising fish I have yet to fish to a bunch of rising fish this year but the nymphing is a blast also
