Water levels are high so nymphing the edges of the runs and riffles has been the best bet. The heads of the pools have also been productive.
We continue to get rain in the Poconos and the water levels are high but the clarity has been good on most days. Don't be afraid of the unusually high conditions. Get out and give it a shot.
