Wuddup fellas. I’m going out to penns creek this weekend in central PA to go for some wild brown trout. I go there twice a year because I love it there so much. I’ve only been trout fishing for a few years now and sometimes when I go I get skunked. And just wanted to get some tips for fall trout fishing. I’m planning on using nymphs and inch worms. Maybe some dry flies if they’re rising. I’ll take any and all tips on how I can catch more fish, fly recommendations, where to look for them, techniques, etc. I want to have a good trip this go around. I appreciate it💪

Learn to read water. Fish the heads and tails of pools. Try to envision where a fish would sit if it wanted to hold in place and let the river bring food to it. If you’re not catching fish, don’t camp out on an unproductive spot. Keep searching. Watch for rises and other signs of actively feeding fish. If you’re fishing a spot that you know has feeding fish, and you’re not getting bit, don’t be afraid to keep switching flies until you find what works.
And most importantly, master a drag-free drift.
Depending on temps (if allowed) id pair your nymphs with a dry fly as an indicator.
The browns in NC were slamming black chernobyls with purple legs last weekend but Brooks were hitting perdigons / nymphs
In general when im fishing waters i dont know really well I always try to pair a dry fly with a wet fly to cover my bases (if it makes sense for the season)
Not sure if its widespread but on super slow days I usually 100% flip logic. So if im matching hatches and using the correct sizes yet getting skunked, ill tie up the opposite sized and wild colors which usually gets at least an interested party
