Fishing the Pohopoco

[jimboy]

I am new to the Pohopoco Creek. Can anyone give me the best flies for this stream? Any advice would help.

 

[SBecker]

Upper or lower?

 

[jimboy]

Lower

 

[SBecker]

Midges

 

[jimboy]

sizes?

How about Pheasant tails and Hares Ear...

 

[SBecker]

22 and 24 Griffiths gnats and cream midges have been productive in the evening. If you are nymphing, Pts and He are always productive. Along with caddis larva and prince nymphs.

Don't listen to Becker. He doesn't fish it, he just goes for the ribs and beer.

 

[SBecker]

I don't even know where the Pohopoco is. Centre county?

 

[The_Sasquatch]

Erie. Next to Valley and Big Spring.

Pulled pork is good too...

Pulled pork and coleslaw over a smoked kielbasa is not too shabby. O and HA's favorite, the chimichanga. Also, deliciouse. However, how can you forget about the smoked hot wings? F it, I am going there tomorrow.

jimboy - This link should provide you with the information you're looking for.

The article is good, but the hatch chart has some missing info, and some weird fly sizes (sz 30 Quill Gordon?).

Overall though, it's pretty good. Parachute ants and beetles are a really good choice right now.

I have done best with a 3" pink san juan worm... at least when it comes to decent sized fish. Deadly on the Lehigh as well.
