TULPEHOCKEN CREEK, READING, PA ~ June 14, 2011Since Chaz is the only one fishing and giving reports lately, it may seem as if this fly-fishing blogger should hand over the reigns to him. The truth is I am in the midst of a move and almost a week away from being the proud owner of a Beagle pup. That said, fly-fishing has to take a backseat temporarily for me personally, but at least Chaz is keeping the blog going with his reports. Actually, I will be venturing into new waters, literally and figuratively speaking, on Thursday. I'll be hitting the Susquehanna River down near Havre-de-Grace, MD for some striper and smallie kayak action with Greg, a good friend and experienced kayaker. So, look for that report in days to come.
Meanwhile, Chaz took the trip up to the Tully on Sunday afternoon. He probably would have done well to save himself the trip, but at least it's something to report!
As he fished near the Paper Mill hole, Chaz had some luck (despite high flows) with a nymph tandem rig, sporting the tried and true pheasant tail/GR Hare's Ear. Chaz went small nymph (size 18 Pheasant Tail)/big nymph (size 14 GR Hare's Ear) to catch this feisty little brown.
Dam releases made things really annoying, with rising water pushing through lots of green junk and putting the water off-color. As I said, lots of travel and travail for just this little guy, but at least one of us is out on the water. Eventually, things got really unfishable and he headed home. Tight lines!
