Father's Day evening hatch on the Brodhead Creek (JUNE 19, 2011)

The fishing has slowed and the only times of the day that are worth spending time on the water are dusk and dawn. The water temperature is high, the flow is normal, and the trout are stressed when caught.  I've had to really take my time when taking the fly out in order to avoid killing them. I am using a 5X tippet so I can almost "horse" them in to avoid long fighting times. The morning's have slowed down for me with dries but the evening is still good. The sulphurs still are coming out at about 9 pm. I caught a nice bass below on a sulphur dry last night along with a few Browns.

Bass caught on sulphur at night
