Penn's report

Time had arrived, last Wednesday, to open Clave Central for the season.
Accompanied by Handyman Mike Shaw, and the Finn(Mike Makela), and with a
couple cameo appearances by Bruce Fisher, we started off the Penn's trout
season. In a 5 day period marked by a range of temps between 34 and 91
degrees, we saw a tremendous amount of Grannom Caddis, smaller Black Caddis,
Blue Quills, Quill Gordons and Hendricksons. What we DIDN'T see were rising
trout. Most all fish caught were subsurface, with deep nymphs, streamers and
wet flies the only sources of angling success, and those successes were
pretty limited. At any rate, we all had a blast, including my little dog
Teddy, who needed a weekend in the woods.
Trout aplenty await at Penn's. We foolishly did not try other local
streams(I suspect both Big Fishing and Spring Creeks would have fished
better), but are ready to welcome all to Penns Creek late in May!

As a mater of interest when you refer to caddis do you mean the cased
caddis larva or the Adult sedge fly?

we generally refer to the whole life-cycle as Caddis, Bill.
When Bruce was speaking of Tan Caddis hatch starting, the tan net-spinning
caddis is pupating and about to go through their adult phases. For
surface(or near-surface) anglers, this means fishing to hatching and
egg-laying adults.
