Exactly! Not rocket science...I mean if you are fishing around areas that deep I doubt you are wading them.
Is anyone still fishing?!?!?!?

Hit alot of water this past week, some good, some not. Upper Lehigh was iced over or to dangerous to fish, Penns was producing, but even with heavy fog once the sun came out just a little bit they turned off for me. Little J was flat out amazing.

I'm just a landscape photographer at this point.
Battenkill for (likely) my last outing of the year. Air temp was 52 degrees today, coming off 24 hrs of rain and a good deal of snow melt. Threw streamers all afternoon with no reward.
Finally broke down as I was wrapping up, since I knew the answer wouldn't be empowering, and dipped a thermometer: 39 degrees in the river.
This is the way 2024 ends - not with a bang but a whimper

Was able to wrap up the year on some Schuylkill County water yesterday. The fish were feeding and it was a great day to be out!
Been dissecting that region the past week as well. Fishing certainly got easier when things warmed up and flows bumped. Tight line with perdigon or tiny jig streamer. And a little indicator fishing a tiny stream today.

There's a lot of really nice water in that region if you're willing to explore. Being that they're freestone waters, your success can have a lot do with water temps. On these winter days, catching it during the late morning/early afternoon can really produce.

There’s definitely some temperature anomalies that take place in coal country creeks from the effect of the mine and treatment facility discharges. The net result is an effect similar to limestone influenced streams, speaking strictly temperature wise. Not like the Letort, but say more like a stream like Spring or BFC. They can be a few degrees warmer in Winter, and stay cool in the Summer. Cooler than you’d expect for their size. One of my Winter haunts too.
Those Browns definitely look like some “acid tolerant” ones from the stream bottom. Very nice.
