I drove up to penns today and enjoyed the fishing despite the wind. However, I really was lost as to what to do for action. I started fishing s tandem nymph rig with a fairly large (10) hares ear up top and a little flashbacks pheasant tail about 18" below it. I added weight and know I was bouncing along the bottom. I fished most of the day with some variation of the same setup substituting wetflies as my bottom fly and various generic nymphs as my top fly (prince, etc.). There were LOTS of small dark caddis hatching, sometimes in large swarms. Often I had them all over my shirt. I never saw a fish rise today despite so many bugs.
I threw some streamers to prospect but never turned a fish. If you were on Penns this time of year and no fish were rising in these conditions, what would your rig be? I was fishing about 4' of 7x tippet off of about 5' of tapered leader. I was using a large foam indicator ...toothpick style. Any feedback is very much appreciated.
