Hi everyone, Went our for the first time since christmas -- was SO nice to get that line wet again! Light dusting of snow on the ground, but the water temps were upper 50's. C&R'd two browns (lil' stocked things, like 11 or 12" each), a bunch of chubs, and a few small sunnies. The Hendrickson nymphs were a'plenty, as were the blue-quill nymphs. OH! This was on some backwater around the poconos/ where I80 meets up with the PA NE Extension of the Turnpike. In any case, both browns were taken on my "realistic modified hares-ear hendrickson" fly. I'll send a recipe off list if you wish, but it's very much the stereotypical "scud". Nymphs I found were HUGE (hook size 14 up to 10!). One brown caught on size 12, the other on size 14. Chubs were caught on a stonefly nymph pattern, also fairly realistic, also huge (nymph size 8) and the sunnies on a standard flashback hare's ear nymph(may have been blue-gills, just released them fairly quickly, to be honest... was fishing for browns). All recipes and such send off list upon request, but I have over 200 e-mails I'm trying to battle through, so give me a day or two to respond. Take care, all, Pete
