Trout Tails - July 8, 2018

It's always about the fish, but it is also always about where fishing takes you.  Spent the weekend exploring some creeks in Northcentral/Northwest PA.  Some recent thunderstorms have provided some much needed water to some streams, but other valleys are still in dire need of some rain.  Remember, if the water is over 67 degrees, find another stream, chase warm water species, tie flies, but leave the trout alone.  Last weekend, I watched people hammering on stressed trout just trying to breathe that were stacked at the mouths of the tribs on Big Pine.  Catch and release doesn't do any good if they just swim off to die.
