and I drifted the Lehigh River for
trout. Water clarity and flows were
good. Brachycentrus were hatching in
good numbers (size 18), but no visible rises
were seen. A total of three trout
between 10 and 17 inches were caught between
the two of us. Gear consisted of 6 weight
rods, floating lines fishing a combination
of buggers, nymphs and caddis. Flies
were weighted with split shot or beadheads.
A mix of single and tandem flies were
used. It was a great day to be on the
river.

We
followed the Lehigh drift up with a trip to
to the Pohopoco in the hopes of finding some
top-water trout action. Hatches were
few with only a couple rises from smaller
fish.

- It had been a number of years since I had
done this last, but I fished PA's opening
day of trout. I chose one of my
favorite streams, Clark's Creek. A
size 16 olive Barr's Net Builder was a hot
producer. By 10:00, I had caught 6
(threw an 8" back) and lost 3
others. If you got out to fish, I'm
sure you'll agree.....it was cold, at least
colder than I'd thought it would be!
My truck's temperature gauge read 29 degrees
and my net was frozen stiff. Fish were
hanging to the bottom and fairly well camouflaged
in the faster water. I skipped the
pools opting for a little more peace away
from the crowds. I scouted the stream
the day before and noticed a couple
rises. The biggest trout I saw was a
rainbow over 20" and probably weighing
five pounds..
