Very successful few hours. Managed to get 16 Rainbow trout nymphing on various patterns such as eggs, sucker spawns, october weenie and green weenie. Tough to cast in the wind on Scotts Run Lake. The lake was crowded with the Main Line Fly Tyers Club. Sorry no fish photos.

With the summer off to a hot start and low warm water, it was a risky trip. I started my day at Bear Creek in Schuylkill County. The water was extremely murky color. I was not able to locate any brook trout.

Decided to work my way down to Tulpehocken Creek. The water was still cloudy but I was able to see some trout. I did not have any success on dries or nymphing. I did get an 18 inch Carp that broken my line after a few minutes of carefully trying to bring him in.

Both waters were extremely warm.

Weather: Sun, 80s
Water Temperature: Unknown, but very warm

It was nice to get my wading legs back but I need a few more trips to get back into shape. For the day I did manage to get 2 brown trout and 3 raindbows and loss equal numbers

Upon arriving at the lake, I noticed that the trout were close to the shoreline. Started with the wooly buggers but quickly changed to dry flies after noticing several risers. Was about to get 6 Rainbow Trout throughout the day and missing many more. 3 were caught on hoppers, 2 on October Caddis and 1 on a copper john.

Weather: Sun, not too windy

Saw plenty of fish rising and after a few cast with October Caddis, I realized that they were junk fish once I got a sunny. Decided to leave and give Pickering Creek a try.

Walked the stretch of Pickering Creek that is stocked. Saw plenty of fish throughout the stretch but they weren’t taking anything I had. Was able to get a Rainbow on a copper john. Again, notice several fish coming up. I did manage a strike on a black midge.

Weather: Rainy
Water Temperature: Unknown
