In a change of pace from the bigger waters of the Delaware and Brodhead today's clients wanted to explore the mountain streams of the Pocono region for wild brookies and stream bred browns. Warm temperature and bright sunny weather made for great fishing on the little streams. The day started tossing dry and dropper rigs in the deeper pockets and having 6-10" trout aggressively take which ever of the offering caught their attention first. By mid day the trout where in full surface orientation and crushing the attractor dries.
Goddard sedge in size 16 have been fishing well and the buoyancy of the deer hair helps to keep a float in the riffles between pocket water Fishing in the small streams is heating up and it will not be long before warmer weather begins to turn them off the bite, so take advantage of the fishing when you can.
