Great TR and pics, Warren. It is a shame you can't make it East this year for
Penn's.
Had a weekend full of Caddis(similar species, a size or two larger) in PA this
past Thurs-Saturday.
Tom
p.s. Email me privately...I have a fly for you
to try out before this hatch ends.

you *******s. i haven't seen that many caddis on a single stream in the
old north state, ever!

maybe, if you combined all the caddis hatches on hazel creek, for the
last 12 years, within an hour, that display could be matched...

Great TR and great photos. The only caddis I've seen this year came in with
my morning paper a few days ago. The numbers of little corpses littering
the water in some of your shots were amazing to me.

Cheers,
Bill

Glad you liked it. Believe me, I wish I were able to come to Penn's
again this year. The fishing was so-so (I still have lots to learn
about that place and that particular type of fishing), having a
chance to meet most of you guys was freaking awesome and the scenery
was a beautiful change of pace. I am hoping to make it again next
year. Your TR brought back some damn good memories for me.

p.s. Email me privately...I have a fly for you

Will do.

hmmm...as i recall you landed a 28-32" brown, didn't you? (it was dark
and we were a bit in our cups, but that's my memory) in my book, that's
far from "so-so". but, if so, i trust you'll be showing us the not so-so
in july? ...

Thanks. I'll say this about her: she is definitely going to cause
my shotgun inventory to drastically increase as she gets older.....

must have been good lookin.

She used to be, but the years and the miles haven't been as kind to
her as they could have.

....and you'd either have to buy a ticket each day to fish it - or wish you
*could*...

Hell, I'll gladly defer to your memory. I love those memories that
add six to ten inches to a fish over a year.... g

There are still several mysteries that I have yet to unravel for
that area and is one of the reasons why I thought the fishing was
so-so. I wasn't exactly prepared in terms of my fly patterns which
proved to be a problem. For instance, I used dubbing for our local
sulphurs not knowing that the sulfurs out there were more of an
orange color. At the end of the clave I felt that I could have done
things differently and done better. Fishing Penn's and the various
other streams of the area is very different from fishing out here
and requires some getting used. My first three days there were
pretty slow and basically a learning experience as I acquainted
myself with the local insect populations and fishing. Following
Makela around for a day caused me to change my techniques a bit and
I had more success, but I still feel as if there is so much to learn
about that place. More time and experience are all that is required
since the river obviously had an abundance of insects and, although
I can't vouch for this firsthand, I hear there are quite a few fish
in the river. ;-)

Fortunately for you, the local streams around here are a bit more
forgiving than Penn's was to me last year (I can explain this
further if needed), but I may be bribed to disclose more information
should you find yourself needing it. g If things continue on
their current trend, July should shape up to be a damn good month
out here. There should be plenty of insect activity and water temps
shouldn't be a factor like they were last year on lower Rock Creek,
which will most likely be a factor around here again in August.
