Techniques & Tips as of 6/6/23
Fishing on Penns has been fantastic. Lots of dry fly opportunities and nymphing has been great. Stick with nymphs and streamers unless you see fish actively feeding on top. Smaller streamers tend to have a higher hookup rate. Stay until dark, best dry-fly action will be just before dark. Don't ignore the skinny water during hatches, fish will often stack there to feed heavily.
