Fresh Water Pennsylvania: The Perfect Fly Fishing Day

Brown Trout I was fishing a small trout stream that is a tributary to the mighty Youghiogheny River. The stream is loaded with many decent sized trout. On this particular day, the trout were eating and taking flies very well for pretty much the entire day. I was catching most of the trout on the infamous black wooly bugger and a few trout on an Adams Dry fly. It always strikes me as somewhat funny how a fish that is only about 12-13 inches long can come up and hit a fly so hard that I can’t stop thinking about it all day. Myself and a few of my fly fishing buddies were using about 13-15 foot long leaders and presenting the flies beautifully. The biggest trought we caught all day between all of us was about 17 inches long. The trout was caught on the surface using a Malcolm-X caddis dry fly. It was a beautiful brown trout. The Meadow Run and Laurel Hill streams we were fishing are 2 beautiful streams in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania. Good friends, plenty of hungry trout taking our flies and spending the day in these beautiful streams; made

this day a perfect day.

so true .. the pefect fly fishing days are actually very few and far between ... sure, like the bumper sticker says "any day fly fishing is better than a day at work" .. that's true ... but, outside of that basic concept ... the perfect fly fishing days are, of course defined with subjectivety and a preference orientation, and ultimately the "perfect day" is in the eyes of the beholder ... one persons "perfect day" .. could be another persons "horrible day" .. but, either way ... and regardless of personal preferences ... i think that the "perfect days" are very few and far between ... that's why they are valued as such. great work ... hope you find a few more perfect days this season.

Terrific photo bigstreamer and pretty Brown...

I'm curious about the Malcom-X. I am familiar with the Madam-X which is a Deer Hair, bullet head with rubber legs floater....Can you tell me about the design of Malcolm-X?

I can attest to how beautiful it is in that area, but if you really want to see some beautiful streams in PA head North to Potter County. There is a lot of awesome streams up there just leave your cell phone at home it's not going to work there.

I would agree that the streams in the Laurel Highlands are beautiful and do produce great healthy trout.
