This morning I ran onto a small blue wing olive hatch and luckily I had the right size (20) in my box. Two rainbows fell for the BWO and a brown rose to take a parachute Pale Morning Dun - yellow in a size 20. Very surprizing to see this hatch this early, but really fun. The water temp was 62 degrees this morning and the leaves are starting to accumulate in shallow corners. This activity all occurred just as the sun was on the water about 7:50 am. Fished downstream from the London Tract bridge in the straight section below the mud bank curve.
BTW - the bridge construction on the Chambers Road bridge on the Delaware section the the White Clay Creek is now complete and it looks like I was mistaken about the deck work. All the work was done below the bridge deck. The large parking lot gate was open this morning when I traveled past at 10:30 am.
Take a look at the new White Clay Fly Fishers web site www.whiteclayflyfishers.org. Very well done and full of information you can use - so if you are not a member you might just want to join and meet some of the really nicest people and helpful fly fishers in the area.
