Current Conditions: July 20, 2008. The water is down to fine levels and the color clear. Call for the most up to date info! Thanks
Penns creek:
Penns is at nice Summer level. We are seeing Tricos, Light Cahills, Slate Drakes, Big Blue Wing Olives, Tan Caddis, Amber Craneflies, and the Blue Quill. We are Also seeing the Cicadas!! Penns has been fishing very well overall and Big Stonefly Nymphs are working well in the off color water. The water temps this week have been in the mid 60's.
Spring creek:
Spring Creek still looks great! Tricos have started! The Blue Wing Olives are still around as well as the Blue Quill. There are also Tan Caddis. The Midges have been there all day too.
Fishing creek: Fishing Creek is clear and has no real rain at all! The Blue Quill and little Sulphurs are hatching well!! Olives , Midges and Tan Caddis are there too.
As always, call for most recent conditions!
