Decided to head out to a local lake because the recently stocked it. Very successful few hours. Managed to get 16 Rainbow trout nymphing on various patterns such as eggs, sucker spawns, october weenie and green weenie. Tough to cast in the wind on Scotts Run Lake. The lake was crowded with the Main Line Fly Tyers Club. Sorry no fish photos.

Weather: Sun, 50s, very windy

I took a day off from work and decided to go north and west for the day in search of some new water and possible brook trout. With the summer off to a hot start and low warm water, it was a risky trip. I started my day at Bear Creek in Schuylkill County. The water was extremely murky color. I was not able to locate any brook trout.

Decided to work my way down to Tulpehocken Creek. The water was still cloudy but I was able to see some trout. I did not have any success on dries or nymphing. I did get an 18 inch Carp that broken my line after a few minutes of carefully trying to bring him in.

Both waters were extremely warm.

Weather: Sun, 80s
Water Temperature: Unknown, but very warm

I took a day off from work and decided to go north and west for the day in search of deeper and faster water. It was nice to get my wading legs back but I need a few more trips to get back into shape. For the day I did manage to get 2 brown trout and 3 raindbows and loss equal numbers

Weather: Sun, 80s
Water Temperature: 60 degrees
