Fly Fishing Penns Creek, "DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER, WOW!!", April 2019 

Great to hear Josh! Just think how much easier it will be in a couple more months with that setup, you’ll be prepared for whatever the stream throws at you. Thanks for the feedback.

Ricky Wykoff Hi Ricky! Thank you brother! Yes this trip will be hard to beat, glad you enjoyed it.

Richard Gallaher Hello Rich! Omg! Really! Well, I hope sometime you schedule a trip back home to PA to try out our streams again, just for old time sake at least. Thank you for your comment, always like helping guys get into more fish and having more fun. Thanks for watching and your support.

Big O Yo yo Big O!! Nice to hear from you. Thank you, yes, a super tough stream to wade, whole day I felt like I was playing Twister with a Penns, one foot going one way, the other going the opposite way, and a little on the high side. Happy you enjoyed it.

Tight Lining MD You said it Mike, “WOW!!” Thanks for watching and commenting buddy.

Mason Brubaker Yo Mason! Very close! Nice to hear from a new subscriber. Penns, one of the best!

PA WOODS N WATER to be honest I’ve never fished penns itself but I fish cherry run often and some others that I choose not to share. Loud mouths crowd small streams! Tight lines!

Mason Brubaker Yeppir! Gotta respect the small stream fisherman too.

Scott Lowe Hey Scott! Thank you, I had a great time, happy to share with all you. Thanks for your support.

Rich Smidtke Hey hey Rich! Thank you Buddy, my pleasure!

Thank you brother!

WildBlue Discovery Hey, thank you very much! LOL! That’s funny, getting your exercise while watching the video. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and your support.

Trout Bum Ha Ha! Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it.

Carol Robb Bahahaha!! Touché Carol! Lol! So happy you guys enjoy my videos, they’re my labor of flyfishing love. Thanks for watching and sharing.

Douglas Randall Hi Doug! Yes it is, a tough act to follow. But I’m up for the challenge, just don’t know what stream it’ll be. The drama continues, ha! Thanks buddy!

Hi Josh! Oh yeah, gotta feed the fishies, ha! Honestly Josh, I’m constantly changing my weight all day long, every area has a different flow and depth, sometimes I can get away with not changing my weight as long as the creek is somewhat uniform, but Penns Creek’s bottom is so unique with many changes throughout that you gotta makes changes accordingly. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Jonathon Kersting Hi Jonathan! Thank you so much As far as Pine Creek, any of the public access spots from Cedar Run downstream to about 2 miles below Slate Run is all good water. And honestly, for Penns Creek the entire stream from Coburn all the way down to Glen Iron is also all good water. Have fun, great time of year but check water levels before you go in case of heavy rains before you leave. Good luck!

PA WOODS N WATER appreciate the Info! Hopefully I have a day like you had ha ha.

Thank you James! Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Hmmm, I don’t seem to have the issues you’re describing, maybe there’s a phone number you can call to speak to someone. I know some websites have some lag during checkout depending on how you’re paying, like with PayPal vs a credit card or some other option. Sorry, can’t help you with that one.

Upstate Angling Thank you buddy! You got some great water up there in upstate NY too. Try to fish it the same way I am, try the fast water, try it shallow and deep. Good luck!

Hi James! Nice to have you on board, thanks! Well, that’s a great time of year. Either go to your local fly fishing pro shop or call a shop and order: nymphs and dry flies for Hendricksons, Grannom Caddis, also soft hackles for them also, Globugs on size 16 pale yellow color and/or fl. orange , brown and golden stonefly nymphs, size 12-3xl, and Frenchies and my Walt’s worm tyed peeking caddis style. Those suggested patterns should give you some action that time of year. Oh, and also BWO patterns dry, soft hackles and nymphs too. Sounds like a lot and it is a lot, maybe 3-4 of each pattern, but you wanna go prepared. You can use most of those patterns other times of the year also. You can call Holsingers Fly Shop in East Freedom, PA and they’ll tye all of whatever you want if you don’t have a shop around you. They actually tye up my Scott’s Big Brown or Ginger Nymph patterns in size 12-3xl, they’ll have everything. Good luck and have a blast. Penns is an awesome stream all throughout. Check out my video Nymphing a Snowy Penns Creek, the first ten minutes I go into detail my leader setup. Also check out my video Nymphing Strategies Part 3 for my technique. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Ha ha! Yes, this is an older video before I purchased my O’Pros rod holder, bad habit I did for decades, all good now. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Gus A. Hi Gus! Ha, several people suggested the same thing, I bought three different ones and I just can’t seem to get used to using them, no particular reason. I know bad habit holding the rod in my mouth, I guess old habits are hard to break, maybe I’ll try a fourth one. Stay tune! Thanks for watching and commenting.

PA WOODS N WATER hey Scott, love your videos. Try a wading staff, we don't want you floating down stream, and missing fish. I place my rod Horizontal with the reel and butt end of the rod in my wader and behind the strap. Leaves my hands free .

Gus A. Thank you Tom! I appreciate you watching and concern and sharing your comment.

Jack B. Honestly, just watch my videos and pick up on what I’m doing and using, when nymphing go deeper than you think, if they’re fish rising and you not real good with dry fly fishing then swing your nymphs or soft hackles in front of their feeding lanes. Tight Lines!

Hi Josh! I’m using the 50” Cutthroat Furled Shorty Dry Fly leader with a tippet ring, now that just makes up my butt section. Coming off that for medium to big streams with bigger fish, I have 5ft of 4x Flouro, then my tandem rig for nymphing. For dries, instead of the tandem rig I’ll add another 3ft of 5x or 6x then my dry fly. For medium to small size streams with average to smaller trout, coming off the furled leader I’ll add just 4ft of 5x Flouro, then the tandem rig or the extra tippet for the dry. Hope that helps. Good luck 👍🏻.

thanks scott, where do get them from. cutthroat website keeps timing out. thanks for your quick reply. @@pawoodsnwater7551

i dont think my last reply went through but im trying or order through cutthroats website but keeps timing out. is there another site you can purchase from ? thanks for the quick reply @@pawoodsnwater7551

pesto88 Hi Pesto! I wear amber lenses on sunny days and yellow on cloudy days, I probably wear the yellow more often because of dawn and dusk fishing too. Thanks for asking, Good Luck!

@@pawoodsnwater7551 Awesome, thx Scott! 👍

Joseph Stella Hey Joe! You betcha! Maybe another tying video soon. Thanks buddy.

George Leader Hello George! Nice to hear from new subscribers. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. And yes, more videos coming. Just did a dry flyfishing video today but not edited yet. Stay tune!

Len Sherlinski Hey Len, thanks Buddy! Yes I’m very happy with the Echo Shadow X, performed well. I’m sure you’ll be happy with the nippers also. Stay tune for my turkey video, will be up soon.

Yes, match it for whatever rod setup you’re fishing with.

Frankie Shoenfelt Thank you Frankie. We need a day like that out in your neck of the woods, someday!

Hi Robb! I like it for nymphing but for dry fly casting it’s just ok, I like a floating weight forward better. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@pawoodsnwater7551 I enjoy your videos and it was a pleasure talking to you at the Tully

Nino Makota, Hello! The CFS on Penns was around 400. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@pawoodsnwater7551 Thanks for quick response. I have been searching water to go fishing and never went to Penns or Tully or any of those creeks further away. Any recommendations for tomorrow?

Nino Makota The Tully has been fishing great this week, smashing caddis, size 18, light olive or mint green, especially emergers. Flow is gooybut we had rain yesterday and really windy today, so it’s gonna be tough. Good luck!

PA WOODS N WATER thank you very much ! :)

PA WOODS N WATER I want to thank you again for quick response and good info. I did not drive to tully as i live close to nyc all rivers around were high but I found a nice wts that I have never been to and had a blast. Pure solitude and lots of wild trout. Nothing big size wise lots of them :) Thank you again All the best

Fishin Fritch Yo Fritch! Thanks for watching and sharing. Hopefully hit the Delaware sometime in May.

PA WOODS N WATER I’m surprised you have not given steelhead a shot in ny yet. We were throwing nymphs all winter for them.

Fishin Fritch Yea, don’t know why!? Hard enough for me just to get out to Central PA let alone Western NY. Someday maybe!

PA WOODS N WATER it’s about a 4 hour drive from reading I’d say.

George Naugle Yea! How come! That’s the $64,000 question. Ha! No , I didn’t fall in on that day but I did fall in this Winter during my Snowy Penns video. I should use a wading staff, but I’m stubborn. Someday I’ll learn. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Jack B. Hello Jack! Sounds like a good plan, think you might have some company that particular weekend tho, but you can still have fun! Might have to hike a little. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yes, I prefer Weikert over Coburn too👍🏻.
