Nice Drake pattern. Now, as to the harumphing.....during that 4 or 5 week
timeframe, Penn's will offer up, by my count(and I assume I have not seen
some species) about 13 species of mayflies, 8 caddisflies, 3 or 4 stonefly
species, 3 different craneflies, several different midges. [snip]
trust me. The stream is a virtual bug factory. Part of the reason we are
moving back a week is so the visiting ROFF crew can encounter the Green
Drakes, a hatch which can be a marvel due to the sheer size of the bugs.
Still, for a true wonder of Penn's, one has to catch a real good Sulfur
night. You may wonder where so many bugs came from in such a hurry!


I trust you Tom, never having been on Penn's myself but I have fished some
other PA streams and based on description it does not sound all that
different in terms of hatches in what you might find on a Northern Michigan
stream a few weeks later substituting hexes for green drakes. That little
roberts drake pattern matches a poopload of bugs in Michigan,

Either way, I intend to attend at least a few days this year and you can
prove me wrong. Deal?

Well, as long as you don't get sixty guys lookin' for freebies, I'll
toss in a caddis - hydropsyche probably -- I'll check the hatch charts
first.
