Re: [VFB] No NEC but...

Murf,

        Yup, you guessed it.  We drove around looking for decent water, in fact there was about 40 guys up there fishing, all looking for decent water.  Unfortunately, the streams were all looking about the same.  We tried to find some mountain spring creeks, but not being familiar with the area didn't have much luck.  Had some nice yellow stones coming off towards the end of the week too.  The hatches were very sporadic.  No green drakes in any number either.  Onesys and twoseys.

We fished up in Bellefonte over the latter part of last week.  Were your streams as high and ugly as they were upstate?  We had the same problems with the sulfurs up there too.  Wrong shade of yella...  Our dubbing material had too much green in it.

Mark;
I'm guessing you might have been fishing on Fishing Creek near Lamar but you know there are many other streams close by.  A local who is a friend told me the creek is not as good as past years, something about the hatchery effluent.  On a sulphur note, there are #18s to #14s in various shades and some with orange egg sacs.  It pays to tie up some from butter-cream to almost orange and to have some thorax ties in the mix unless you've fished the hatch/stream before.  A good dry to have is a #16 olive with a yellowish belly and iron brown midges for the hatchery pool.
