Hit the creek last night after two weeks off.........shoulder still hurts
Fished lower in the creek near Pottstown---the state started to stock this section of water---water was super warm and I didn't see any rises---I did notice some Iso's and huge stoneflies in the air--every now and then you would see a nice sized white spinner--cahill sp.-- I think I caught every fallfish in this section of the creek--landed a greensunfish/pumpkinseed hybrid thing???-- also landed a very nice bluegill that was almost 9 inches--
It was about 750pm and I decided to move upstream where the water was much cooler.........I got there about 805 or so and I saw a few risers......tied on a orange CDC sulphur dry and instantly got a GULP--which I promtly snapped off......all of a sudden every fish within' 25 yards was rising to the sulphurs--these sulphurs were the tiny yellow ones---so I tied on a CDC dry fly--size 16 tied on a scud hook and whacked em' one after the other--it was non-stop for about 20-30 minutes---rise, cast, reel the trout in--- it was a blast-----then the action stopped
so sulphurs still popping off..........and lots of them.........was told by a reputable source that the afternoon provided pretty good dry fly fishing with a tan caddis
