Weather: Sunny, 65 degrees
Water: Clear
Hatches: Olives, 16-18
Time: 11am-1pm

Comments: Beautiful sunny spring day, with a great hatch happening in the sunshine. Fished Blue Wing Olives, parachutes, size 16-18. Fishing near the Route 78 crossing, caught a beautiful 16 inch Brown after he made three strong runs taking me into the backing on my reel. Two smaller browns landed upstream. Not as productive as nymphs, but what can I say, I'm a purist. Crimp those barbs down!
