2008 - SE PA Limestoner Update
First off...sorry for the delay in getting something
fresh up on the site - - with the holiday season and all the accompanying
craziness, website time has been tough to work into the schedule.
Anyway, on to the report. With the recent rains and the warmer
temps (/but now slop) local waters have been in perfect streamer
shape for post-spawn
browns. We are talking good color, and sustained higher than long
term median average flows. This is a good recipe for scoring aggressive
streamer fish. And when they are on, man is it fun stuff.
Lately the fly of choice has been a simple white streamer -- white
marabou tail, palmered white bunny body -- all tied on a streamer
length hook shank and topped all with a bead. There is also some
weight wrapped into the body prior to the white bunny palmer. The
cool thing about this pattern is that you can follow it along very
well. Which means the visuals can be awesome! When time permits
I'll get a pic of one for the site. Besides my box is running a
bit low.
Salt...Word is there are still bass hitting small
patterns in the surf zone. Weather permitting a bit more salt time
might have to be worked in prior to the Holiday. Until then, relax
and be safe.
