Mixed bag

The past week has been good for some, not as good for others.....what can I say, it
's fishing.

Right now the stream is running at 86 cfs at the parkton gage and we're seeing morning caddis, evening sulphurs, and Green Sallies sporadically throughout the day. The little stoneflies are quite lime in color and seem to be more spread then in recent years (actually more then I've seen in the last 40 years) but still heaviest north of York Rd in the I-83 area, yeah I just pimped a spot but I didn't do it for 200 bucks in a cheap magazine so there! LOL There really hasn't been any secrets on the river in 20 years so forgive me.

Caddis size 14 in tan, sallies in 14 and 16, and sulphurs in 14 and 16 are the ticket. We have the flies, most designed for the Gunpowder and tied locally, be sure to have nymphs, emergers, dries, spinners and I always recommend soft hackles....the fish will tell you which to use :)
