Paul and I fished in the Rockport area tonight and caught a few nice trout as well as encountering some wildlife. I dregded a nice bow out of a fast chute with a prince nymph soon after arriving. Paul fished the tail of the pool and after a beaver quieted down was able to hook a big brown that eventually got off the hook, we’ve spotted a few beavers in the Gorge this year. At one point a bear was spying curiously at me from the bank above and eventually worked it’s way down to Paul and huffed at him for a few minutes before wandering off which brings me to a good point. As guides in the Gorge we’re required to have a whistle in the Gorge for emergency purposes(signaling/alerting in fast water, etc.) but when bush whacking in the Gorge and in the Poconos in general it’s not a bad idea to let out a blast once in a while to alert bears in the area of your presence. Trout rose sporadically throughout the evening and there were plenty of short hookups and misses until Paul finally landed a nice brown at dark. As we were leaving it quickly became evident that it was time for the Dobson Flies to return to the river so if you’re in the area fishing soon be prepared for these prehistoric flies to be near the river at dark and for some reason they seem to be attracted to people, at least they seem to be able to home in on my(Tim S.) head with precision for some reason. Sulphurs and Olives continue to hatch, we continue to catch fish on all of the patterns we’ve been using for months.
