Fly Fishing Penns Again, "BACK AND FORTH, FROM NYMPHING TO DRIES"

- Back out on Penns Creek again, on stream with my buddy Todd from Ohio. We just had a super fun day, fish were feeding all day, underneath and on top., so that's what we did. We fished back and forth from nymphing to dries, changing our tactics according to how the fish were feeding. You got to be versatile and adapt to what's going on with the fish, pay attention and try to pick up on what and how they're feeding, then make the necessary adjustments.
I used to watch you about a year ago. Alwaays a good video. & boom. Here you are, still doin it. Talkin to the fish.
Welcome back brother! Ha! The trout whisperer, stay tune more coming. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hey Scott!!
Absolutely love the dry fly action; just an amazing thing to watch these fish explode on top like that.
So glad to see that you two had a great day on the water and i also hope that you did well for yourself turkey hunting.
Thanks for sharing and God bless you.✝️
Good morning Mike! God is good! Fishing great, but the turkey hunting has been tough, but I appreciate the challenge. Hope the Bushkill is being good to you. Hope to get back there in a few weeks. Going on my 9 day Fishing vacation next week, should have some good footage for everyone. Thanks for watching and commenting. God bless you too.

Great video Scott I love watching those fish coming up for the dries Keep the fishing videos coming and stay safe hunting
Hey Snook! Thank you buddy! You and me both, so exciting and suspenseful getting them on top. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Awesome fishing as usual
I love the double trouble 🎣👍🏼 can’t wait to finish watching the dry fly action !!!
Hey Chuck! Oh man! You’re just getting to the good stuff. I think you’ll like the dry fly action too. 👍🏻 Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Ok just watched alittle more of the video at lunchtime, I see what you mean !!! You make the top action look easy 👍🏼
As always you never fail to brighten up my day. Another great true to life video . Thanks and I hope you get your bird early , God bless.
God bless you too Richard! If I’m brightening up your or anyone else’s day, that’s the best I can ask for. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Thanks for the timetable.. as I usually head for the stream right after seeing your videos, lol. I need to make it back there as i got my butt kicked there 2 yrs ago..
Thank you brother! Sure hope you make it back there soon for some redemption. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Looks nice over there Scott, quiet. You guys did well! Thanks for taking us along.
Hey Mr. Mike! Good morning! Yes, a beautiful day with some quality fishies. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Some serious surgical dry fly fishing. Thanks for taking us along!
Good morning Anthony! Thank you buddy! Love to see those risers. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Awesome video Scott. Certainly was a great example of how easy it is to go back-and-forth from nymphing to dry fly fishing. Was a great day on Penns! Thanks for your hard work in putting these videos out .
Hi Todd! We had a great day, good fishing and good company. Keep it simple. Thanks for watching and commenting v
Love me some Penns Creek! Great video, Scott! You had some nice top water action. Hope all is well!
Cory!! My brother! I think we’re both in love with Penns, but there’s plenty of Penns to share with everyone. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi Scott! I’ve been there the last two Sundays! March Browns have been very active. It’s such an amazing stream!
Hi Jeff! Interesting that they were keying in on the caddis and not the March Browns as much. I did learn that what I thought were Isonychias in the evening were actually Black Quills, learned that Penns is one of the few streams that have them. Yes, an amazing stream! Thanks for watching and commenting.
That’s a skilled fly fisherman right there showing you how to pick fish off using different techniques! Great work Scott, nice fish landed , and definitely looked like fun session! Gotta love that double trouble, caught me some nice trout with that fly ! Yea I totally agree when there sippin on caddis it can drive you crazy , but definitely nice work on top ! Tight lines buddy!
Oh man! Thank you very much for the kind words. Honestly, I always felt, presenting a mayfly was much easier than a caddis, most times the fish are taking the caddis emerger, but sometimes we get lucky if they’re taking the still adult on top, but that’s usually NOT the case. Thankfully this day, the fish were cooperative with our patterns and presentations. Also tyed me up some more of the double troubles. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Very nice Scott. I enjoyed this thank you
Hello James! You're welcome and my pleasure. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Hey Scott
Just finished your last TWO videos lol and they were really enjoyable.
As I said once before; you are definitely the Master Caster :)
It's amazing how you place your fly such a long distance with the perfect drag [the reach cast is executed so well]
Those trout were nice sizes on a dry fly.
Always a treat to watch you and your 'buds' out on the water
Thanks again and can't wait for more vids
All the best and God bless
Chuck S.
Hi Chuck! Thank you for your kind words. Practice, practice, practice casting, most times , getting into a good position to execute is vital for the presentation. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you watching and commenting. God bless you too.
Precision! I’m hoping to get back up there in the next few weeks. I haven’t caught a fish on top yet this year. I’m jealous. But this is the next best thing! Great video. Thanks Scott!!
Hey Scott! Thank you buddy! If you’re heading up on a weekday and you want some company, hit me up. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Another great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Thanks Scott This was a nice one.
You’re welcome Doug and my pleasure. Gotta cherish these kind of days. Hope you’re having fun out there too. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Good video Scott smallmouth like blue 😊
Hi Burton! Ha, What do know! Go figure! I do like catching smallmouths also , as far as size, fight harder than a trout. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Lots of fish, great time!!. I saw a wading staff. Good job!!!
Yessir Mr. Bob! I’m resigned to the fact that my one knee needs a little help nowadays, so I’ll use a wading staff on the tougher streams, better safe than sorry, and I’ve been sorry one too many times in the past. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Scott! Talk about a Smallmouth on a diet! HA!, LOL!! Great video Buddy! Last week I caught my first Crappie on the fly rod after a couple of rainbows! Been very interesting getting to know the waters in Tennessee! They were hitting "Apple Caddis" last week! Anyway, good luck with the Turkey Hunt! Looking forward to the net post!
Hi Dave! Smallmouth thought he was a trout. Ha, guess he thought, if you can’t beat ‘em, might as well join ‘em. Have fun in TN. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great day out Scott. Thanks for sharing!
29:36. Just fantastic to see!
Ha! That fishie just exploded on it, exciting!
Hi Reid! Thank you buddy! Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you watching and commenting
Nice video Scott.
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I enjoyed very much this video! Great work!
Thank you very much! Hope you get to fish there sometime. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Penns in nice shape when u were up there. Double trouble definitely worthy to be in the box! Good job being versatile! Tightlines and Happy Hunting!
Good morning Craig! Yes, Penns was perfect this day, love hitting them with all the tactics. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Another great video as usual. Thanks Scott for sharing 0:37
Good morning guys! Hope you had a good breakfast while watching the video. Glad you enjoyed it.
Scott, Got to love that Caddis dry fly fishing…
Oh yes, explosive rises, but personally, mayflies easier to fish, but I got a lot of experience on the Tully with caddis, so bring it on! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks Scott, enjoyed it. Maybe one day ill get there.
Hi John! Oh yes, you gotta, make a few day trip, you’ll wanna fish it more than just one day. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@pawoodsnwater7551 Any cabin rentals in the area?
@@BIGJ3748 Well, the upper Penns has The Fur and Feather Fly Shop and B&B in Coburn, middle Penns has some cabins available at Poe Paddy state park campground through their website, and lower Penns around Weikert and Glen Iron has Breezy Timbers B&B, all excellent areas to fish. Check those places out.
@@pawoodsnwater7551 Thanks Scott.
@@pawoodsnwater7551 Missed your Sunday Morning video.
Scott did great on BK..both eb wb still too high but bk big bows tonight on March Brown real close to dark it was magical.. anyway hopefully tomorrow same.. gottonr home Fri
That awesome Jon! Glad you got into them and had fun. I’ll be up there in about two weeks. Hope i experience the same.
Double trouble and Perdigon tandem rig is a absolute deadly combo! Pounding trout this year with em wild and stockers keep using em you will be Satisfied good video scott
Hi Blair! Like I said in the video, I’m a believer! I’ll be using that combo more often. Thanks for watching and commenting.
THANK YOU for Sharing !!!!!
Hello David! You’re welcome and my pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
29:35 boy that one hit it like a small mouth going for a buzz bait lol 😂
Omg! He smashed it! Sometimes those caddis hits are just explosive! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Saw you caught some on the double trouble....I've found the fish really like it in north central Pa, catch a lot on it on Pine also, not so much on the Tully...
Hey Phil! I have more luck on the Tully in Winter on the bigger nymph patterns, not so much in season. Good on Penns and the Delaware year round, good supply of stoneflies in both waterways. Thanks for watching and commenting.
love watching the way you fish gona have to try this sometime
Good morning brother! Oh yes, gotta try it, so much fun! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I ran into two fishers who reacted rather offensively to the mention of you because of your innocent nature. I stuck up for ya and showed the pr's one of the wiggle nymphs I got from Shawn. Told them I got 5. They shut up.
Ha! Funny, but thank you very much for the support. I’m out in Montana right now, the Madison was super tough for four days, but now on the Gallatin and had a great first day yesterday, three more days left then back home.
yo scott, great video from penns. nymphing and dries landed you some really nice browns. gotta plan a trip out there after we get back from potter trip. so that ferruled liter really casts well switching to dries, the drift looks really good for you. gonna try that up in potter on pine and firstfork. we leave the 18th, for 10 day trip. hope the turkey"s are co-operating for you to, those things can be tough. ok, best of luck and hopefully we can get out somewheres after our potter trip. take er easy scott.
Hey Mike! Thank you buddy! Got into some gobblers a couple times this past week but no luck yet. Have fun up in Potter, heard fishing has been good up there. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Great video hopefully can get to penns this year before it’s to hot ..but hey me and my dad would love to meet you up at the Delaware we’re going June 2nd it’s a Friday our last trip to go got canceled because of rain hoping it’s good this time
Thank you very much! I’m actually up on the Delaware right now for 4 days, two days left. I probably won’t be going up that soon again. First week of June is a great time, it’s been a little bit of a circus up here, but caught enough decent fish for a good video in a couple weeks. Stay tune! Appreciate you watching and commenting.
@@pawoodsnwater7551 oh nice can’t wait to see the video.. hopefully it’s not to crazy up there when we go are green drakes hatching yet ?
@@adamsflyco5555 Oh yes, green drakes started on Penns and Pine last weekend, not really a green drake hatch on the Delaware, very few.
Scott I am a PA guy. What rod are you liking these days? Love my Orvis but it is an 11 foot and I cannot travel with it in my roof case so looking for a different rod in maybe 10"6. I also use an but am just reaching out. You turned me onto Furled Leaders and I am sold. Love that method. Keep up the good work.
Hello Hank! In this video I’m using my 10ft/4wt G Loomis NRX+, from April through November I love using this rod because I can nymph very well with it, plus switch over to dries and comfortably dry fly cast with accuracy. From December through March I like my 10.5ft-11ft rods because I’m mainly just nymphing that time of the year. I do use shorter rods at times for more stream specific situations. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hey Scott, I’ve been watching a lot of you’re videos lately and have been learning a great deal about fly fishing from them so thank you. I’m going up to Penns for the first time at the end of June what flies would you suggest?
Hi Sean! Thank you very much. End of June, same flies as now, Isonychia dry and nymph, both size 10 and 12, tan or olive caddis size 18-20, always BWOs size 18-22, Globugs, pheasant tails and haresears size 18, and perdigons size 18 blue, flashy light olive, black, ants size16. That should get you into some fish. Good luck and have fun!
Be at the Delaware June 5 - 8.Have you been there yet,if so how'd you do.Going for the "Sulphurs ".
Hi Mike! I’m going very soon, but I may go up again in June. The afternoon Sulphurs are like clockwork once they start, right now caddis have been on pretty good from reports, I haven’t been up yet. Good luck! Thanks for watching and commenting.
@PA WOODS N WATER Staying at a rental house on Airport Drive but will probably fish Stilesville a good amount of time. Right now it's currently at 1080 cfs,hope it will be around 500 cfs when I'm there.
Do you always use a 3 fly nymph rig ? At the Delaware or anywhere.
@@miken9166 Well, 1000cfs isn’t bad, 500cfs great for wading but a little on the low side, I like it between 600-800cfs, but I’ve had some great days up at 1200cfs. This time of year you should be able to find some feeding fish just about everywhere. The one thing I don’t like about Stilesville is more slime up there, but plenty of fish. Have fun. I should have a video from up there out on my channel before you leave. Stay tune!
@@miken9166 When nymphing, yes, almost everywhere, but there are times I do drop down to just one or two, it’s situational. This year in particular, I haven’t caught much on the Globug, but when the fish are mainly hitting the other two flies I’ll still leave it on because I believe in it still being an attractor, catches the fish’s attention and then he may see the other two flies and hit one of them. Just a guess, but it’s proven itself many many times.
Hey Scott! Great day on The water. Fun topwater action. Nice browns earlier in the video .Are they all stocked bows and brookies farther down the line? Thanks for the video.
Hi Dale! Downstream, some stocked browns and bows, but still plenty of wild brownies and brookies. Upstream mostly all wild. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Are the smallies common there? Water seems fast for them
Hi Brian! It’s not uncommon, especially in the Summer, and way more common the more downstream you go. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
The most annoying guy on the water is back. Always making sure I’m upstream of you on my home waters.
Really!? I don’t think of you that way, don’t be so hard on yourself. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Must be hard to be so angry and hateful. Great video, Scott!
@@kellyhagan2631 Thank you Kelly, appreciate your support.
Sounds like someone needs to go fishing, lol.
@@Pwrcritter Yessir, plenty of fun for everyone on Penns. Appreciate you watching and commenting and all your support.
