Caught some fish this weekend even though it was windy most of the weekend. Weather man was wrong again, I guess today will be the perfect day because I have to work. Water is a great greenish color, Level is great, 42 degrees yesterday afternoon. The snow has started to melt. It looks like a good spring so far.

Talk to one guy that did very well in the C&R today, I only fished about two hours and I got to the party late. They really hatched good early in the morning 10am-1pm. Egg laying stones in the afternoon, Sunday should be the same!

Again I'm sorry I was not at the shop, the viewing and events too my whole day and family comes first. The shop will be open early 8am and I'll have the flies you need to use for what is hatching Sat and Sunday. I will also be open Sunday 8am to 1pm.
I need some fishing too its been a long winter!!!!!!!
Ps: the weather looks great at this moment, great water conditions, Great Weather, light wind.
I wish I could get to the creek. I will be closing the shop at 1pm but 8-1 should give everyone enough time to get what they need.
The hours will change Tuesday to 8am to 7pm, things are starting to get going up here.

Beautiful sunny day, at 1pm I took a ride to the creek and sure enough there was a good hatch of of Black Stoneflies.
I almost want to go fishing but the wind is up just a tad. I know place I could get away from the wind but the is work t be done and my hours will change after the weekend.
3/2/2010
No wind today, cloudy skies, water in perfect condition. Sure wish I could have been out there.
After this weekend the store hours are going to change to 8am-6pm but as always if the red truck is out front stop in.
The fish are active and its time to fish.
This weekend looks perfect so far and I have the flies that work!
Wright& McGill Fly Rods and Cortland Lines are on sale now, stop at the shop for details.
If you are new to fly fishing this would be a great time for you to visit the shop
3/1/2010
Starting to see more tiny Black Stoneflies.
2/24/2010
Another nice day to fish, no wind. Only 4 more days to fish the open water, then its on to the Catch and Release.
2/23/2010
The creek should fish pretty good over the next few days as it starts to turn off color. Looks like we will have a few days without wind.
2/21/2010
Great day of fishing today, not for numbers but for big fish. Water around 400, 39 degrees at 12:30pm, Clear
5 fish in about 4 hours of fishing, sunny and just beautiful!!
2/20/2010
Looks like a good day to fish to me. I'll be on the water later today, Sunday looks even better.
2/18/2010
A good friend stopped by the shop yesterday with some nice pictures of Brown Trout he caught on Black Stone flies. I'm sure the trout thought they were cased caddis (October Caddis).

Got cabin fever so bad I went fishing again today. Lots of very tiny black stoneflies. Just as the front came in and the snow started I started picking up fish on the old stand by - Yellow Stone #8. It was a great day to be on the creek 29 degrees and no wind at all. Picked up 5 fish in about 2 hours of fishing, my feet are cold!!!! The water is cold, very clear and perfect height for fly-fishing!!
For all you silk soft hackle guys I have a whole bunch of new stuff including the new old stock of silk colors by Pearsall's and a whole bunch of hen necks hen saddles, starling, Partridge skins. I also hand picked some dubbing especially for Penns Creek Flies. These are the colors I use to tie my special flies.
2/14/2010
Got some wind up here and its cloudy.
Doesn't look like the greatest day to fish.
We have 14 more days to fish the open water, after that its the Catch and Release section.
2/13/2010
Well its cold out there but I'll be fishing this afternoon and Sunday. Its not the best conditions but I know there are fish to be caught.
Lots of new stuff in the shop
2/10/2010
This weekend looks like a good time to do some winter nymphing and don't for get about the case caddis.
I just got a big shipment of fly tying materials and gizmos and gadgets. Its time to start tying flies!!!
2/9/2010
Today would have been another good day to fish. All you have to be aware of for the next week or so is the wind. The snow wont melt and the water will be in good shape to fish.
2/8/2010
Sorry you could not be with me on Penns over the past few days. The fishing has been great! I know you were not there because the only foot prints in the 14 inches of snow were mine. The water is slightly brownish green, cold and at a good fishing level. What I noticed today was the immature case caddis (October Caddis) that were on the rocks in the slower pools. Every rock close to shore had from 25-50 caddis crawling all around on them. Well you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what to fish. The creek will stay just like this until the first day it gets really warm then it will get dirty. So you have a few days to get out there. I know.... you think the creek is out because of the snow but it just don't work that way. The snow has to melt for the water to get really discolored. Penns is a wonderful teacher and one of the best trout streams on the east coast. Ps: Sam the wonder dog was in his glory, he even got in the water. I saw a huge fish in the riffle I pasted walking to one of the slower pools but he was not in a friendly mood.

Just when the creek was looking good it looks like snow will hit the area.
The water is a beautiful green color, I saw my first Tiny Black Stonefly yesterday.
2/1/2010
Good fishing today even though the water is high. No sign of the tiny black stonefly yet!
But it was a nice day to be out in the freezing cold catching fish.
The water has that beautiful green color, if you know what I mean!!!

Caught some beautiful fish today, 3 natives from a feeder stream.
Streamers

Today would be a great day to fish Penns, Spring Creek or Big Fishing Creek.
1/14/2010
Great day to fish and Saturday looks even better. The creek is at a good level, Color looks good and people are catching fish. Enjoy these days in the 40's when you get them.
1/7/2010
The Creek is at a good level, but I would expect some ice over the next few days.
Come in and stock up on some fly tying material.
I'm ordering steelhead supplies today and they should arrive next week.
