Penns creek: Penns is high, but the color is improving fast! We can see to the bottom on the edges already! Should be good for the weekend if we don't get more rain. The March Browns and Suphlurs are hatching well. There are still a few Hendrickson Spinners running around, but they are basically done. We have BWO's, Tan Caddis, Amber Craneflies, and the Grey Fox are getting very active. Penns has been fishing well to streamers and Big Stonefly Nymphs. The water temps this weekend were in the mid 50's.

Spring creek: Spring Creek is up and colored up, but recovering fast, as usual. The Blue Wing Olives are still around as well as the Blue Quill, but the most important thing to know is that the Suphlurs have STARTED !! There are also Tan Caddis. The Midges have been there all day too.

Fishing creek: Fishing Creek is in the best shape of the group. She is up but green and fishable! The Hendricksons are ending fast, but the March Browns, Blue Quill, and Suphlurs are all hatching well!! Olives , Midges and Tan Caddis are all there too.
