Valley Creek, Chester County - 5/20/2016

[jrj]

Fished from 330P -730P.

Water 60/62
Air 78
Water - Terrible - muddy from the construction - improved once construction crews left.

Only one fish until 630/7P. Water quality. Once it cleared up, hatches of sulphurs and bwo's. Good top action. 6 to hand with as many missed.

During the week it probably best to wait until later in the evening or go somewhere else if you plan to fish in the park. It was a mess.

I had to deal with the same thing when I fished Valley Creek Wednesday Afternoon. I actually caught fish on nymphs in that muddy water. The water may look really bad, but I doubt it affects the fish too much.

TYoung - Agree with your assessment. It did look like it was keeping the bugs down. Maybe it was just timing. The ones we caught were all feisty and healthy looking.
