Stream Conditions- September 20th, 2009


Take advantage of the conditions!! Parkton flow is 75cfs and temps are at 50 degrees. Glencoe is 138cfs and the temp is 57 degrees.


The flows have been put up and the conditions are the best that they have been in a while. Fish have been moving and very active. Caddis have been hatching throughout the day and smaller mayflies as well. Black stone flies have been very abundant in the northern section during the middle of the day. Most of the larger rocks on the banks had plenty of them sunning themselves. They are smaller in size 16 and 18.


BWO and caddis have brought the best results on the surface. Caddis in 16 through 20 and olives in 18 through 22. Hanging small nymphs and midges behind the dries is a great bet. Bead heads with a soft hackle behind is very effective. Bead head copper john, hares ear, and pheasant tails are always great with dark spiders hanging behind.
