and I drifted the Delaware River. We
caught stripers and smallmouths. We
fished daybreak to mid-day. Size 18-16
caddis started the day early by creating
surface activity as small minnows,
presumably baby shad, were feeding.
Productive flies included poppers, bunny
flies and Clouser darters. Conditions
were overcast, including an occasion shower
with slightly discolored water.

- I fished the Allenberry section of the
Yellow Breeches in Boiling Springs,
PA. I fished from 6:45-9:30am, landed
3 brown trout and missed at least 3 more.
The stream flow was slightly above normal
(195 cfs reported at Camp Hill, PA) and
continued to rise and discolor during
fishing. The stream had received a
fair amount of rain from the previous night
and during the hours fished. The most
productive fly was a size 16 Oliver Edward's
Hydropsyche Caddis larva. Other flies
tried included: size 16 Barr's Net Builder,
size 12 olive caddis larva, size 16 black
beetle and an olive sculpin. Two fish
were seen rising sporadically. There
was little to no fly activity.

- I fished Neshaminy Creek (PA) Saturday
evening. Weather was fantastic and the creek was flowing
approximately 39 cfs. Stream height
was lower than normal with good water
clarity. Rock bass and bluegills were extremely
plentiful. No smallmouth bass were
caught. Hatches were
non-existent. Streamer patterns were
top producers. Poppers produced little
results.
