Cumberland County Hatch Update--4/10/2014

[Night_Stalker]

Water levels are finally allowing for some stream time! A heavy Cumberland County (PA) caddis hatch tonight (first real good one). A few rises witnessed. The photo shows slender 21"er. I'm thinking it is a hold-over fish (based on shape and coloration) that has been migratory for several years.

Beauty Eh? I think the feesh r hungry! I totally agree with your migratory Brown theory. One of my biggest "sea run" Browns was caught years ago at the mouth of the Connie at West Fairview (while targeting pre spawn Smallies in early March). Steel grey with perfectly placed small(er) spots. Really pronounced scales too. 24+ inches and a lean 5 pounds. Would be interesting to see which limestoner she came from -
