Stream Reports

With less rain over the last week, our streams have returned to more normal flows for this time of year. This has brought consistently good fishing on all of our beats.  A few Grannoms were still flying around last week, but it is safe to say that hatch has passed for the year, and the next major bug we will be on the look out for will be the Sulphurs.

Water conditions are currently in great shape for spring fishing with flows near average for this time of year, and the water is clear on the edges but green in the holding areas. With not much rain in the current forecast it appears that water conditions will remain good for fishing a variety of methods such as Nymphs, Dries, or Streamers over the upcoming week.

This week's forecast is calling for daytime high temperatures to range from the low to mid 60's with the nights being cooler and temperatures dropping back into the 30's. The only precipitation in the current 10 days is a small chance of a little rain on Saturday. Over the weekend and for the start of next week, the weather is calling for temperatures to climb back up into the 70's by Monday.

Spruce, Yellow, and Penns Creeks have all been producing good days of spring fishing for members visiting the club lately. With current conditions we expect that to continue as it is no secret that the end of April and beginning of May is a great time to be on the water. Nymphs and Streamers have been producing fish, but we will likely see some fish back on the surface with Tan Caddis and Sulphurs hatching come May.

Water conditions on the Little J and Frankstown have also settled into nice shape, and we will have the boats out floating both of those rivers for wild trout in the upcoming week.  Another one of our favorite springtime float options has been on the menu recently with members taking advantage of very good prespawn smallmouth bass conditions. Now is a great time to catch a trophy bass on a streamer/big bait, and a lot of nice fish have been caught over the last week.

Spring is in full effect, and we have a variety of different fishing options for members to take advantage of this time of year. Come fish, it should be another great week at HomeWaters!
