I Feel Penns' Pain

about 18 inches under water I got 77 degrees!

I heard two opposing prognosis on Penns. One is that the natives have
been through it before and they will make it through it this time too.

That is likely. Has Penns been closed to fishing? (I hope.....)

How'd you do on Spring Creek?

Spring Creek was great. Fished one evening and 2 mornings. Got fish
all of the time. The trico falls happened at 8:15 am one day and about
9 the other. The little zebra fly (size 20 or 22) did the trick in the
evenings.

Gene I fished Penns in the lower project section and did really well
last saturday morning. I fished 5:30 to 8:30am and got 10 trout 3 bass
and 2 chubs. Out of the 30 trout caught over the past 3 trips 3 were
hatchery fish or adipose fin missing fish. The stocked fingerlings seem
to have taken it badly but the natives are doing fine. They find
springs and hunker down during the day, and the springs are pumping
cold water pretty well. Anyway its a night time game right now or
sunrise till about 8am. At every pool I fished this weekend I saw trout
shooting strait up out of the water and crashing all over the place, I
have no idea what they were doing. I didnt see any caddis or hatches
except a sparse trico hatch around 8:30am when I quit and walked back
to the truck. The other week I almost walked on another rattler, I
didnt even see it until I was past it and it shook its tail. In three
weeks we will have better fishing, Even now I'll bet the fishing is
good at sunrise at the upper wire. Its not as bad as people think we've
have had rain almost every week for the whole summer. I dont know about
the upper water because I have been up there since May, but the water
weikert to poe is doing ok.
