Stream Reports

Between fishing, shooting, and attending the home PSU football game it was a busy weekend around the club with almost a full house of members and guests. The fishing was the same as it has been for the last several weeks with low, clear water, however everyone caught enough fish to enjoy themselves and combined with some shooting, football, and nice weather it made for a great weekend at HomeWaters.

We received approximately a ¼ inch of rain last Friday evening which didn't change the water conditions much but seemed to help the fishing on Saturday as most anglers had a pretty solid day on the water. We are hopeful that we will receive enough rain Tuesday into Wednesday of this week to improve the situation. 

Toward the end of last week and over the weekend, the weather was really comfortable for late November with daytime high temperatures reaching up near the 50 degree mark and sunny skies. The weather is supposed to stay pretty warm through the middle of this week and then take a cooler shift back into the mid 30's with cloud cover for the Thanksgiving holiday and weekend. There are currently chances of another half an inch or so of rain spread across Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of next week.

There have been a few BWO's and Midges hatching some afternoons to get fish rising to them. It will still be possible to catch them on dry flies when that happens, however, most of the action remains subsurface with a variety of nymphs such as Baetis Nymphs, Zebra Midges, size 18 Pheasant Tails, Soft Hackles, size 16-18 Hare's Ears, and Egg Patterns. Anglers have also had success on recent trips by dead-drifting or very slowly twitching small streamers such as Wooly Buggers.

Those of you fishing and spending part of the upcoming week with us, we look forward to seeing you, and for everyone else, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! At HomeWaters we certainly have a lot to be thankful for with our members and guests being right at the top of the list!
