is a great time to be a bugslinger, weather your chasing cold water trouts or warm water bass things are going strong. For bass its been streamer time for sure but don't be afraid to go top water as the waters are warming and the top water bite has been picking up considerably. For trout we all know its traditionally prime time for dry fly fishing which we all love but the heavy rains in central PA have many rivers and streams running high and hard. For me that means break out the 6 weight with a sinking line and chuck a big meal for those big PA trout that are typically hard to fool. A few pics of what streamer fishing has been like around the way.
Not gonna hot spot but when this PA river runs high there is not a soul around because its to hard to wade. However packs of trout slashing at a streamer can be good motivation.
This lucky winner or loser depending on your point of view was one of six trout trying to grab a yellow conehead zonker.
Butter. Black/red is a deadly streamer color combo for brownies.
One more streamer brown to finish off the day.
On the local front green fish, that is smallmouth and largemouth, have been banging whatever hits the water.

It always surprises me that more people don' target these fish locally...your missing out.
