Recent Trip Report

---

We've been awfully busy lately!  Our trout trips in NW PA are rolling right along, and with them, some great fish.  It's been a weird spring in this neck of the woods, with 80-degree days and snowstorms seemingly taking turns every week.  That has made the hatches a bit unpredictable, but things are starting to stabilize and return to normal.  Most of our action is on triple nymph rigs, but every so often we are getting the chance to toss some dry flies when the caddis cooperate!

Typically we don't have too many conversations about stream conditions during trout season.  Even when the water is high, smaller streams offer refuge for our trips and most of the larger waterways run off fairly quickly.  However, as noted above, this spring has been different in terms of precipitation.  Consistent big rains have left the waters swollen and really made things interesting over the last several weeks!  The good news is that the fish don't seem to mind and continue to actively feed in all sorts of water types. 

Some hot flies from recent trips include: 

• Pink Squirmy Worm
• Electric Caddis
• Cutters Caddis
• Gray RS2
• Pat's Rubber Legs 
• Rainbow Warrior
