Newbie: SE PA flies

I'm very new to fly fishing, as a kid i fished ultralight spinner rods
in the SE PA region. I find myself back in the region again, having
just learned a bit about flyfishing last year. I thoroughly enjoy it.

I was wondering if anyone might be able to suggest some flies for this
time of year for this area. I'm also looking for any resources,
websites for SE PA, or NE PA as well.

TIA

Streamers...

*retch*

and large bead head nymphs for NE Penna right now. Water is about 41
degrees and the fish are

*burp*


still sluggish and not fond of going out of their way

*burp*

to eat.

Not like


*burp*

me!

Try Clousers, Matukas, Muddlers, Wooly Buggers and Ghosts for the streamers

in size 4 to 8 and large Prince and GH Hares Ear for the nymphs in #10 to
12.

Wait until water temp get to 48 to 54 degrees for possible dry fly action.
About two weeks away in NE Penna.

They say cold for the next few days - will keep the water in the upper

*burp*
thirties to low forties for awhile.

after you've sorted through the belches and the gastronmic advice, I would
suggest that you accumulate the following:
Nymphs: Yellow Stoneflies #6-10
Hare's Ears #10-20
Wets: Leadwing Coachman #10-14
Hare's Ear #10-14
Dries: Hendricksons #12-14
Red Quills #14-16
March Browns #12
Grey Foxes #12-14
Sulfurs #14-18
Blue Winged Olives #14-18
Midges(grey,olive) #22-24
Elk Hair Caddis (tan,olive)#14-18
Grab yourself some streamers such as Black nose Dace, Marabou Muddlers and
Shenks White Streamers in #4-10 and head out. This time of year, the nymphs and
streamers will be all you need, the hatches will start in earnest in about 3
weeks. Get to know your local streams and tailor your selection from what you
see on the stream. Good luck!!

There is a free monthly guide called "Fly Fishing Guide" or something like
that, free in local tackle shops. It's divided into sections like NE PA, SE
pA, etc., and has stream and fly tips for each month, plus a Lefty Kreh
article, so on.

Charles Meck's book "Pennsylvania Trout Streams and Their Hatches" is a
great resource, both for stream info, and for hatch info. Dwight Landis'
book "Trout Streams of Pennsylvania" also has lots of great info & maps.
Also of interest is Joseph Armstrong's book "Guide to Pennsylvania Limestone
Streams". All of these are available in the Bucks Co. library system, or if
you're in the D-town area, Dave's usually has them or could get them for
you.

Also, don't forget that while we have lots of excellent trout streams in the
area as well as north and west of us, this area also has outstanding river
and small stream smallmouth action all year round.

Lastly, if you'd like to hone your flyfishing chops on some beautiful and
well-stocked water, you can't do better than contacting Liberty Council BSA
and getting a permit for Ressica Falls on Bushkill Creek. Excellent
freestone sith lots of pools and riffles and runs, lots of fish, good
hatches, open year-round, maybe 1 1/2 hours from D-town.
