Go under with caddis pupa in olive and tan (16-18), scuds, cress bugs, pheasant tails, Hares Ears, Walt's worms, Green Weenie's, San Juan Worms and zebra midges. Work streamers down stream. Cast your flies to the banks and any in-stream current breaks.

| Conservation Note: |
ANGLERS VISITING OUR AREA: Specifically those of you who just fished the Delaware River (or other streams in the NY Catskill Region),the Farmington in Connecticut, or Maryland's Gunpowder River, Please clean your boots and waders with a diluted bleach solution OR hot water(must be over 140 degrees f) and laundry detergent - It must soak for at least 30 minutes to be effective. DIDYMO has been identified in these watersheds. Another option is to purchase a second pair of boots and waders to wear only in infected waters. It's the only sure way not to spread DIDYMO. Please be responsible - Don't spread DIDYMO TO Central Pennsylvania!
