This morning our local weatherwoman said, "It seems like we only have two seasons anymore. Winter and the monsoon season." How appropriate!
When we get heavy rain I just think small, smaller, smallest for streams to fish. Parts of the Poconos got 4"+ of rain yesterday. Carbon County must have gotten less, 'cuz the stream I was on today was in really good shape at 62°. I thought I was gonna have a dream day, but I didn't move that many fish. I did manage to land a few on a beadhead dropper.
If the streams and rivers are blown out, try those little tribs or the headwaters of your favorite streams. At this time the trout are sometimes eager to grab anything that looks edible. You don't have to worry about spookin' 'em, that's for sure.
