Manatawny Creek

Water is starting to warm...but still on the cooler side of things
 
A dry tan caddis over the riffles and head of pools has been catching fish
 
A beadhead nymph with an emerger dropped off it has been catching fish
 
At about 9 pm.......the fish start chasing emergers....bluups everywhere
 
Throw on a spent spinner when the fish are done chasing emergers or early in the morning........I caught a fish at 955 pm the other night on a spent spinner.......
 
Beware--  the annoying bugs are CRAZY........I got eaten alive last night.....
 
Last night I caught a Brook Trout.........neat catch for the Manatawny......

    thats toasty water temps. The trout might not be active, but they will survive. I have seen them alive in the conemaugh river when the temps are mid-uppper 70s in late july. It would be nice to have last summer's weather again.

    We broke into the 80s only a few days after june 1st last year in my area.

    "A Homewood man led police on an hourlong car chase that ended with a crash injuring three officers.

    "The car was driving itself," Wright said. "The car has a GPS. It's a Lincoln Navigator. They drive themselves. I wasn't running nowhere."
