  • Haven't been out to the middle section of Penns Creek in two years, so off we go to the Poe Paddy Campground area with Owen from Osny-Fishing-Adventures. No wind, mild temps and perfect water set the recipe for a good day. Then a decent snow fall came in around noon and that helped the fish to keep feeding good for the rest of the day. All brownies were post spawn, good healthy fish but a little on the skinny side. I think it was a great first time experience for Owen, he got to see one of our awesome classic trout streams here in PA. Check out Owen's sight on RUclips.

The first fly fishing RUclips video I produced was a class A wild trout stream in February with over a foot of snow. I just went out to test my camera gear and the fish were on fire smacking a pheasant tail nymph dropper so I filmed my first episode. Stunningly beautiful in the snow with native brookies. Not for everyone but I love it. Lots of solitude on the stream with breathtaking scenery. Now I wish I wasn’t at work but on the stream. Lol. Keep up the good work!! 👊

    Hello again Scott-
    Looks like Cutthroat offers quite a few furled leaders for nymph fishing, are you using their 50-inch floating or sinking leader ?
    Also, you seem to always use a "linear" type of multiple fly arrangement (tying fly-to-fly-to-fly on your tippet) rather than using a dropper type arrangement - why do you prefer this ?

    • @pawoodsnwater7551
      @pawoodsnwater7551  2 года назад

      Hi Tom! Yes, very observant. I use both 50” furled leaders, on my nymphing rods I use the heavier nymphing leader, on my shorter rods or combo rods I started using their lighter 50” shorty furled leader. Yes again, my tandem rig is tied as an in-line setup, I want my flies on the bottom most times, the dropper system is mostly used to fish the water column at different depths, my setup is much easier and more accurate to cast and less tangles and I have many years of success with it. I’m definitely not saying it’s the best system, they all work and have their pros and cons, it’s the one I’m most comfortable with and I’ve tried to master it. Thanks for watching and your questions.

      Hi David! Honestly, on all my outfits, all I’ve ever used was a standard weight forward floating line matched to the rod, well on one of my small setups for small streams, on that one I’m using a double taper floating line. So, no special line is required. Thanks for watching and commenting.

      Ha! That fall is on the editing room floor. I wanna agree with you about the snow but as long as it doesn’t drop the water temps, lately I’ve been having days this year where it wasn’t snowing but the snow on the ground was melting and it caused the water temps to drop and it shut the fish down, weird because later in the day towards late afternoon the air temp dropped which stopped the snow from melting and the fish started to hit again. I don’t know if it was coincidental but very interesting. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    Hey Scott. I bought some of those Cutthroat Leaders here at the Fly Fishing Expo here in Idaho where there made. Haven’t used them as of yet. The guy at the booth gave a small speech about them and it has been so long ago I forgot. What does the furled leader do for you in your nymph or dry fly system. Thanks and would like to try them. I got the wax that comes with the leaders as well. Thanks….Brian

    • @pawoodsnwater7551
      @pawoodsnwater7551  2 года назад

      Hi Brian! For me, my furled leader just makes up my butt section. What I love about them is that they’re perfectly straight, have zero memory coils and they help my rig or flies turn over very nicely. I’m more traditional than most. I mostly break my rod down after fishing each day, I hate pull my line off the reel with memory coils. I was using braided leaders first many years before this furled leader came along, these were far superior to the old braided leaders. I run the 50” nymphing furled leader then 5ft of 4x Flouro then my tandem rig for nymphing or 3ft of 5x or 6x for dry fly fishing. When I switch over from nymphing to dries, all I do is cut off my tandem rig as a whole, save it for later then add my 3ft of 5x for dry fly fishing, that simple. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    Hey Scott,
    I really like how you showed us how you set up your rig! I just ordered a 10 ft 3 weight. Do you always use a floating line? Have you ever used the euro lines? I was told to stay away from them because they aren’t good if you have to switch over to dries.

    • @pawoodsnwater7551
      @pawoodsnwater7551  3 года назад +4

      Hi Jeff! Well, this is one of those personal preference choices. I love fly line, gives me more control over my cast and drift, cuts through wind and casts heavier rigs with much more ease. Yes, I always use floating line. Check out my video, “Nymphing Strategies Part 3”, it focuses more on my technique. I believe nymphing is 100% visual, I know there are times you can feel the obvious heavy hit, but if you say you’re trying to feel all hits, if you have to wait to feel that hit from the fish all the way up your line through your rod and into your finger, you’re already late on the set. If you believe in the feel of the hit, try fishing with your eyes closed and see how many fish you catch. That why there’s such things as sighters and indicators they use. My sighter or indicator is the belly of my line, that’s my focal point, it automatically adjusts itself for the flow and depth as long as I’m keeping a STRAIGHT line to my rig , minimal slack and NO “S” bends in the line. Most of the time I use a water load cast which is way more accurate and not affect as much by wind vs the tuck cast or the mono rig lob cast. Every style takes practice to get use to but the benefits of how I do it far outweigh other styles...... I believe. And with my setup you can go from nymphing to dry fly fishing in minutes without changing out your whole setup, I just add about 3ft of 5x or or whatever size tippet you’re going down to for the dries and start fishing, I just cut off my tandem rig as a whole and save it for later when I wanna switch back to nymphing. Hope this helps a little. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    • @pawoodsnwater7551
      @pawoodsnwater7551  4 года назад

      Tom melville Hello Tom! That all depends, if one of the flies is working, or if it’s generally just a slow day, sometimes just one, sometimes all three. A lot of times I’ll just keep the Globug on as an attractor to catch the fish’s attention so hopefully he’ll look in the direction of my rig and go for either of the other two and that works great a lot of times. I don’t know if that helps but I try to give each fly a fair chance, but not when I’m dry fly fishing, if I drift my fly over several fish without a hit, I’ll change it out right away, on top if they don’t give me a response I know it’s not the fly of choice. Have fun and tight lines!

      balor7 Hey, thank you! Well, Penns Creek can really be divided into three sections, the upper, middle and lower, and they’re not easily reached from one to another because of mountain ranges. The upper section is near Coburn and Milheim, there’s 3-4 places you can stay up there. The middle section is way back in, probably the closest motel or B&B I’m guessing is probably in the town of Milroy which is where you have to get off 322 to go to that section. The lower area around Cherry Run and Weikert is accessible off Rt.45, I stayed at a great B&B called Breezy Timbers about 15-20 minutes from Weikert, highly recommend this place if you’re fishing the lower section. Gotta get on the internet and look up places in the middle and upper sections, there are several. Good luck and have fun. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You can stay/rent $5-$20 night at the Union County Sportsmen’s Club grounds if you want to be seconds from fish this upper half of the lower section. Checkout the website. ‘The Club’ has a lot of amenities for the entire family to be entertained. My family has a ‘hard campsite’ (leased grounds) sine 1979 and relatives have been fishing there since the 1950s. I Have fished from Millmont to Poe Valley State Park but primarily from ‘The Club’ area to the end of Weikert Road for 40 years. Love Penns❤️God Bless and enjoy the fishing and so much more

My top fly is not a dropper, it’s my heaviest fly and my point fly, most of the time I tye my tandem rig in-line style, off the back bend of the hook. Just recently, I started tying them off the eye of the hook, also works great. I particularly don’t like the dropper way , I get too many tangles. I use Dinsmore split shots, sometimes they slide, they all do but not too bad, I occasionally have to tighten them back up but not too often. Thanks for watching and commenting.

      patrick duffy Hi Pat! I’m pretty sure the Keystone Flyfishing book that I highlighted in my TIPS video a few weeks ago covers both streams extensively. Both streams have numerous access spots, and in the month of May anywhere should be fishing well. Access spots on Penns could be a little tricky in the middle, a lot of walking, but upper and lower Penns a little easier. Pine Creek has numerous well marked parking areas, all good in May. Hope you have a great time, view my related videos beforehand to help you get prepared. Tight Lines!

  • @leighs522

    In your recent tips video, you noted that you put your heaviest fly highest on the leader, with progressively lighter flies down the line. Is your egg weighted? I know you pack quite a bit of lead in your Iso nymph, so I'm thinking that is your heaviest fly. Am I missing something? Enjoy your videos very much. Makes me want to get out and fish.

    • @pawoodsnwater7551
      @pawoodsnwater7551  4 года назад +1

      leighs522 Hi Leighs! No, you are correct, but the split shot or shots above the Globug now makes the upper fly the heaviest. Weird thing is, I never understand why my last fly which is the lightest and my top fly which is the heaviest, why when I get snagged is it mostly my bottom fly, never makes sense. 🤔Oh well, thanks for that great question.

    • @pawoodsnwater7551
      @pawoodsnwater7551  4 года назад

      52smarie Hello Brian! My reel is a Lamson Konic, they don’t make that model anymore, I think the Matrix or Liquid is around the equivalent, great reels for the price and great drag system and not too heavy. I think you’ll really like either. Also I think the 10ft/4wt is the perfect rod for both nymphing and dry fly fishing, especially on bigger waters. Glad you enjoy the videos, thanks for watching and commenting.

      @pawoodsnwater7551  4 года назад

      Martin Corcoran Well, I know they say regular mono nylon floats better than Flouro but in my experiences, the Flouro pros outway the cons. I’ve NEVER had a fly floating problem with Flouro, even when I’m using a size 28 Griffith’s Gnat. So a sinking tippet usually is not an issue for me. If it is for others, sometimes I rub a little floatant on the tippet to help it float besides using it on my dry fly. Thanks for your good question.
