TCO Fly Shop's Tip of the Week
Penns remains low and clear, more rain and cooler temps slated for the next few days is needed. Fish the riffles and catch & release quickly. Trout are looking up for trico, blue quills and assorted caddis. Terrestrial season is here, get those ants, beetles and greenie weenies dusted off. Temps are getting critical(upper 60's)by mid afternoon, please DO NOT FISH over 68 degrees. Have a thermometer and use it, OR drive down below Weikert and do some smallmouth fishing.

Techniques & Tips as of 8/9/22
The early bird gets the worm, or trout. Get out early in the day. Nymphing will produce best if nothing is actively feeding on top. A dry-dropper rig is a good bet to search water during summer flows.
