i fished every day for almost all of the day... rain was never a problem
on the stream until the morning i left (yesterday). it rained hard all
night and into the morning, and penns was getting brown. there were a
few intermittent showers during the week...but nothing that affected the
stream negatively in my opinion. penns is always a challenging
stream...it was this year. but, of the 4 years i've attended, this was
almost equal to the first year as far as weather and the late evening
hatch. there were no mid-day or early evening hatches in the stretches
i fished. thanks to makela, i saw my first green drake on penns, and
hooked my first brown with a big green drake fly. that was neat...and it
will assure my return next year.

Yeah..those drakes are amazing. Another reason to go back next year,
later in the month. That night at about 10:00 it got incredibly
instense with female duns emerging by the thousands. Right about now,
it's getting downright serious too, I expect. Have to push it back a
week further next year.
