Bill & others:

– Who turned on the air conditioner?

– Creg and I arrived on a Blair County freestone stream this morning (around 8:00am). Overcast skies and about 50 degrees outside. No bugs.

– Fishing picked up around 11am and we saw black caddis #18 on the rocks (made sure they weren’t stoneflies). Had a few sulphur duns come off … but nothing major. Tan caddis (probably Granomms) fluttered here and there … but again, nothing major.

– Around 2pm the weather took a turn for the worse. Wind picked up and temp dropped into the 40’s and we decided to call it quits around 3pm as we had over a mile or so to walk back to our vehicles.

– All in all, wasn’t a bad day for some stocked bows and wild browns. Will never figure out why the fish commission feels the need to stock over a class-A (actually better than class-A) water.

– We never did make it over to the Little Juniata as we were just too cold when we finally made it back to the car. Decided to head on back to Altoona and go to bed.

– Will talk to you later.

Bill:

Thanks for the information.

I am headed out tomorrow morning (Wed: 5/13) with Creg Strock from Aquatic Imitations. We’re going to hit up some of the local Blair County limestone streams in the morning and then see what happens.

We may try to hit the Little Juniata in the evening and see what happens. Weather is supposed to be in the low 50’s, am really hoping we have a heavy sulphur emergence with dark overcast skies (no rain).

Will let you know how things go.

Tight Lines,

John Coxey

Can’t wait. Univ of Pittsburgh delayed classes for two weeks (professor out of town). Might actually get to hit the sulphur hatch this year.
