Not a lot of roping was happening, at least not where I was on Penns.

Damn! I thought water levels would be good compared to past blowout years?

Water levels were good, but the catching was tough. I spent most of my time just sitting on the bank talking.

Wood duck. I was digging through my bag of wood duck flank and found this piece.

I sling a lot of wets too. Here is my version of the Orange Fish Hawk. I substitute hen RN pheasant for the hackle rather than the badger hen of the original.

I actually didn't have any badger hen and believe it or not, that is a killer pale watery dun I picked up from Charlie Collins a few years ago. I'll give the hen ringneck a shot as well.
