Good Drake Spinner Fall in the evening on the low end near Glen Iron and a good hatch of duns came off above Weikert. I would be fishing right around the Catch and Release tonight if you want to hatching duns.
Water 1200 cfs @9am, water clearing but still dirty, this is not a bad thing the fish rose last night and they will again tonight.
5/17/2012
1500 cfs @ 10am, High and Brown
Sometimes the drake fishing can be very good in brown high water.
Just fish the edges and slow pools and stay safe.
5/15/2012
The creek got a good shot of water, its brown. 2520 cfs.
Sometimes the drake fishing can be very good in brown high water.
Just fish the edges and slow pools and stay safe.
5/14/2012
Water 551 @ 8am, brownish, weather overcast rain off and on, Green Drakes downstream around Glen Iron, Sulphurs, Gray Fox, Cahills, Crane flies, caddis of all colors, Midges and you can add to the list the Golden Stones in numbers.
5/12/2012
I went to the Glen Iron Bridge last night after work and they are plenty of drakes down in that area. Both up and down stream.
There were also Sulphurs, Gray Fox, Cahills, Crane flies, caddis of all colors, Midges.
It should be a good day to fish Drake Nymphs
651 cfs, color is getting better but still brown.
5/11/2012
The water is 723 cfs at 2pm, its clearing but still dirty, some drakes are being found but the hatch is just starting. Fish Drake Nymphs until we see a good hatch of duns come off, the nymphs are very active and fish can be caught on the edges and slower areas. I would expect the main hatch to happen at any time.
5/10/2012
The creek is down to 830cfs @ 10am and should be fishing well by Saturday afternoon on the lower creek. The color of the water wont matter with the drakes, they will rise to these big duns. Just fish the edges of the creek and any place that has slow water. I don't think the water will fall real quickly check out the USGS chart below the water has only fallen 360cfs from its high. By the way, once the drake really starts nothing will stop them they don't know what the weather is above the water. This is the time to fish the drake nymphs in high muddy water. Saturday would be the day to be on the lower creek around Glen Iron to the Sportsman Club section of creek, if you want to see Drake Duns.
5/8/2012
The creek is blown out. The drakes are just starting a few miles below Glen Iron.
At 10:30pm Tuesday the creek is at 906 cfs and very dirty form Coburn all the way downstream.
It should be fishable in a few days, I don't want to see people rushing up here to find the creek not fishable.
Dont worry you will get a shot at the drakes but the stream need to drop to 600 cfs and that may take a few days.
5/6/2012
A small number of Green Drakes came off last night well downstream from the good trout water.
It will be a few days until things get going.
You know what time it is..... And what to use....
5/5/2012
I guess I should not have called her ugly!
I think Penn's will drop quickly to a fishable level 650 cfs or around that point.
White Deer Creek is fishing well now and its a wonderful creek to fish.
If I don't get a customer by noon, I'll close the shop at that time.
5/4/2012
Well we got more rain yesterday and Penn's is pretty ugly.
5/3/2012
Good news Bad news: Penns got some rain but the creek is pretty brown. It should clear up fast and the weekend looks good. Mountain small stream fishing will be good for today and Friday.
5/1/2012
The fishing is still good, it all depends on the weather. When the sun is out people seem to be doing best on wet flies and when it gets cloudy the dry flies are the ticket. Saw my first Green Drake of the year along with a few other guys. Nothing major yet but I'll bet they will be very early this year.
Olives, Sulphurs, Gray Fox, March Browns, Brown Caddis, Green Caddis, Tan Caddis, Craneflies, # 4-8 Big Stoneflies and Spinners of all.... This is on the lower creek - catch and release and downstream.

I don't want to sound like a broken record but the fishing on the lower creek is very good.
The water is in good shape, light rain after 5pm, this should be a great day.
4/27/2012

It got windy up here but there are enough fish rising if your patient and look for them. Today is a blow out, 30+ mph wind but let hope it will drop off before the weekend. At any rate get up here before the farmers plow their fields or you could be looking at a muddy creek.

Winter Chapter of Trout Unlimited
Annual
Penn’s Creek Cleanup
April
21, 2012 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Union County Sportsman’s Club Parking Lot, Weikert
Garbage
bags, gloves, and a vest will be provided.
We need volunteers to help clean the Fish for
Fun Area on Penns Creek. We will have the gate open to the Rails to Trails from
the parking lot to the tunnel for our crew to clean the stream side that
normally does not get cleaned. It is a lot easier to pick up trash and take it
to the railroad than walking it out on your own! This is an excellent
opportunity to clean areas that do not receive attention. We will clean all
parking access areas in addition to the Weikert/Cherry Run road side; some of
these can become quite full of discarded trash. Come out for a day of fun and
fellowship; bring your bike, waders and friends to help. The crew generally has
lunch at The Union County Sportsman’s Club in Weikert or we go fishing for the
rest of the day. Join
us by calling Jim Hepner at (570) 286-7870.
2/22/2012
Black stoneflies #16-14 hatching all over the creek. Had a great day yesterday.
I would say the hatch is at its peak, lots of rising rising fish.
Good luck to everyone, Sorry the shop is still not open, but a big sale will be held soon
Reservations for the creek front house can be sent to info@pennscreekangler.com
