| Fishing Overview: |
There are still a few Light Cahills, and tan caddis on the water. Summer blue quills are present. A few midges and crane flies may be found. Dry fly fishing has been slow. Nymphing has produced the most fish.
|
| Specifics and Tips: |
The best dry fly action has occured right at dark or early in the morning.
|
| Hatches: |
Slate Drakes, Tan Caddis, Summer Blue Quills, Light Cahills, Terrestrials
|
| Hot Patterns: |
Tan Caddis (14-16) Nymphs are a good place to start along with #14-16 tan and olive bird of prey caddis. Also, make sure to fish a soft hackle or emerging style pattern (mayfly or caddis) within your nymphing setup. Pheasant tails and Zebra midges, etc. are also good choices. It's a good time to blind cast Catskill style or parachute slate drake patterns. Dry/dropper techniques with an attractor dry fly and green weenie have been productive.

| Conservation Note: |
ANGLERS VISITING OUR AREA: Specifically those of you who just fished the Delaware River (or other streams in the NY Catskill Region) or Maryland's Gunpowder River, Please clean your boots and waders with a diluted bleach solution OR hot water(must be over 140 degrees f) and laundry detergent - It must soak for at least 30 minutes to be effective. DIDYMO has been identified in these watersheds. Another option is to purchase a second pair of boots and waders to wear only in infected waters. It's the only sure way not to spread DIDYMO. Please be responsible - Don't spread DIDYMO TO Central Pennsylvania!
