 Posts: 923 | Well, it's been a while since I've reported on what's been happening. I was fortunate enough to spend some time on the Beaverkill, Letort and Penns Creek lately. Fishing was good and I got to experience some phenomenal dry fly fishing to some really nice wild fish. March Browns on the Beaverkill, sulphurs on the Letort and Drakes, Epeorus spinners, and sulphur spinners on Penns. Beaverkill:          Penns:    Gutcutter with a drake eater    | |

 Moderator Palmyra PAPosts: 3233 | Great photos and some fine fishing! I've fished sulphurs, olives, and Hendrickson spinners on the East Branch of the Delaware, March Browns on the Beaverkill, then caddis and sulphurs on the Main Stem of the Delaware. Visited a bit with Matt up there at his cabin on the West Branch. Then sulphurs and Grey Fox on the Little J, and Drakes on Penns. It has been very good. | |

 Posts: 376 | Wow! A whole slew of nice fish. The rivers look beautiful as well. I have been patiently waiting for fish poking their noses up consistently. That has not happened yet, or at least I haven't found them. | |

Posts: 923 | Very nice, Eric! I especially like the photo of the drake posing on bamboo. Thanks Kurt. I have them trained to land right where I want them and then sit and stay. ;) | |

Posts: 923 | Wow! A whole slew of nice fish. The rivers look beautiful as well. Thanks. You know I've been lucky so far this year. There have been several occations where we have been finding plenty of surface feeding fish, when, on the same day and same river, others have been having difficulty finding rising fish. | |

Posts: 376 | Wow! A whole slew of nice fish. The rivers look beautiful as well. Luck plays a part in all fishing, no doubt. I think your knowledge, and time on the water, tend to stack luck in your favor though. | |

 Posts: 2611 | "I'd rather be lucky than good". Eric, I'd have to say that you're both, at least from the pictures...beautiful big fat fish, I am totally envious as you've seen what I've been catching lately... Kyle, same here, hatches are ssssslllloooooowwwwww this season. Hopefully things will pick up soon! Jonathon | |
| No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere... | ||

Posts: 376 | Eric - I agree with that! Like Jonathon said, I think you may be both, so that's even better yet. Jonathon - The biggest problem is that I've seen bugs. Sometimes lots of them. Last time I fished my favorite river there were caddis everywhere and a healthy amount of hennies, but no fish looking up. This last weekend, plenty of caddis around and some large (#12) yellow mayflies. Again, no fish looking up. Good thing I enjoy fishing streamers too! | |
