And we're back! Hello Spring and the cycle of rebirth has begun again! It is nice to feel like I have a job again too. The BWO's have started on Spring Creek and the fish are starting to notice them.....YEEEEAHHHH! Current Conditions: March 5, 2010. Hi Everyone! We are BACK! We were off-line for reasons beyond our control....but we are back and bringing you the latest news!!!!Please check our updated hours!!
Penns creek:
Penns is in great shape! It has been fishing very well and producing some very nice fish....Big and Little Stone Fly nymphs and an olive Caddis Larva. Thanks
Spring creek: Is Low! The BWO's have started in earnest and the fish are eating them....they are also eating a lot of midges too.
Fishing creek: Is in very good shape...mostly midges and a few olives!
As always, call for most recent conditions!
