Last week I was in Pennsylvania and took a day out on one of their spring creeks--the Yellow Breeches, west of Harrisburg. Started with nymphs in the morning lower on the river:
I managed to pull up half a dozen decent browns like this one, and a couple rainbows as well.
Took a break for lunch when a thunderstorm rolled through (the one that delayed the US Open), then drove upstream and threw dries in a pretty technical stretch of water. Very calm, slow moving, so unlike most of our rivers here (maybe it was like Rocky Ford, but I haven't fished there). I had to shuffle and wade slowly and creep up on the fish so as not to spook them. I'm no ballet dancer, but I surprisingly still fooled a couple more.
It was a great day, and an interesting change from the fast and deep rivers I usually fish.
