Every spring for the past few years, I get an opportunity to do a drift boat trip down the Delaware River with Wayne from River of Life. It’s always a great time for laughs, learn how to fish better and of course get some fish. This year my in-laws were in town from Montana. I haven’t seen my father-in-law for years, so he joined me on this trip. We did manage to get some fish, below being the biggest for the day. If you are ever in the New York or PA area, I highly recommend scheduling a trip with Wayne.

As discussed in a previous post, I pass through a couple different creeks daily on my commute to work. One of those creeks that I posted about is French Creek, which begins a few miles north of my home and empties into the Schuylkill River. A portion of French Creek is about a mile walk down the mountain from my home. Last Sunday, I took some time to fish the local section near my home in which I was able to get one during my short trip.

Saint Peters Village is a little bit upstream from where I was fishing. My wife, my baby (aka the dog) and I frequently walk to the village to get some locally baked bread at the Saint Peters Bakery.

Was able to spend a few hours this evening at both the Fly Fishing only and the non-FFO sections of French Creek. Good hatch going on but not much top water action. Got one on a BWO nymph and one on hares nymph. Lost about 6 and got 2 lareg chubs as well.

Weather: Sun and warm
Water Temperature: Warm
