This time last week, we had high barely making 80, clouds, intense thunderstorms, and less than perfect fishing conditions (kindly put) in the White Clay Creek.  Today we have blue skys, high well into the 80s, and gin clear water, in most areas.  Time to get back to normal fishing tactics.  After a prolonged period of heavy rains, some fish will have relocated, typically not too far, but may be set up in new locations none the less.  Do not be so quick to just walk by a less than perfect looking area.  If you do, I can garrentee that you'll walk by some nice fish.  Also, some of these rains were heavy and caused some downed trees and high waters.  There will be changes in sections of the stream.  That is, there will be areas that didn't give the fish a good holding spot that might offer prime spots now.  Botom line, keep your eyes open.  This past three weeks of weather also will likely prolong lower stream temperatures and the in-stream number of fish is still very good.  So there is no excuse to keep having great fishing outings.  This weekend will probably have the terrestrials in full gear, so have some ants, beetles, hoppers, etc. in your box.
