I have been very fortunate as my ability to work has not been impacted by the covid virus. In fact, it has given me the opportunity to fish quite a bit more. Several weeks ago I relocated to my camp in the Allegheny National Forest; I was able to establish an internet connection This has allowed me to fish in the evenings after work and explore new areas and revisit streams I have not fished in years. The thing I found to be the most enjoyable was the relative solitude. I have fished many evenings enjoying excellent hatches all by myself. I witnesses a march brown hatch recently on Tionesta Creek that would rival any hatch I have seen on our more famous trout streams in central pa. Green Drakes, March Browns, Grey fox , Sulphers , BWO’s I have found them all and rising fish in all of the streams with one or two exceptions. I am a silver lining kind of person and this year the situation we are all in made it possible to rediscover and discover new places to fish. I would normally be running to the J or Penns on the weekends . Now, I am rethinking that. Are they stocked fish ? Yes for the majority but does it really matter if they are taking dry flies. Lots of people tend to congregate on the more famous streams but I have found many no name and looked over water and the fishing has been excellent and maybe more enjoyable.
I am grateful for this opportunity and probably would have not done it if not for the situation we are all in. So maybe quit loving the J , Spring and Penns to death and try one of the bargain basement streams – you may find a deal ?
