From National Wx Service, State College, Pa:
NOW...
A SOAKING RAIN WILL BE ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA THROUGH
LATE MORNING. WET SNOW WILL MIX WITH THE RAIN AT TIME... MAINLY ACROSS
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. A LIGHT COATING OF SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE ON
GRASSY SURFACES. THE PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF TO PATCHY RAIN BY
EARLY AFTERNOON. SOME OF THE RAIN WILL BE ON THE HEAVY SIDE. THE AREA
OF PRECIPITATION IS MOVING NORTHWEST AT 15 MPH.

Hmmm, snow in the mountains surrounding Penns Creek in May. Awe, that
can never happpen, right?

By the way, long term models show a complete wash out on Friday the
23rd.

What I saw was showers 30% chance from wendesday til monday 60%
tuesday and wendesday......Be easier to powerwash the
trailer............resealing the roof might not be so
easy ...........putting in the last piece of flooring can be done
though...................as long as it's not torenchale (sp) rainfall
we will be fine.........If penns gets blown out there are plenty of
smaller streams to fish......... white deer creek where the Finn
killed them last month with a muddler minnow 40 to 60 fish from 1" on
up............ spring creek, young womens creek left and right branch,
little pine creek, which we have fished in the snow..............But I
know we all go there to fish the HATCH on penns so time to pray to the
no rain gods..........

John!! Ya coming out to the clave yet again!

I would say rain gear is always a must, you're only guaranteed to have great
weather if you bring it.

Just checked out the last forecast and it's getting better a light rain is
just fine. Too much sun ruins the mid-day fishing. just checked the water
levels. The creek is still high for sure and a spike well over 1000 cfs
the past 24 hours. It needs to be below 800 for easier fishing but as long
as it's clear there's always somewhere to fish.

Just made the call, coming up with the boys on Thursday if we can find a
place to stay. Bruce is avoiding the question and Rudi's not answering
e-mail/phone yet. May hit priceline for that place on 322 just below Poe
Lake/Run. They should be good for the boys even if Penn's is high. Could
also do Lewisburg up the highway from White Deer. Will stay until Sunday
morning at the latest, come back for a Phillies game at 1:35, and head back
up myself late Sunday or very early Monday. Will be there until Sunday or
so from there on.

Be easier to powerwash the
trailer............resealing the roof might not be so
easy ...........putting in the last piece of flooring can be done
though...................as long as it's not torenchale (sp) rainfall

up............

They sure did love that fly. Such as basic fly, one I usually don't have in
the rotation.

spring creek, young womens creek left and right branch,
little pine creek, which we have fished in the snow..............

It's funny how many streams (there are other streams not listed) we have
found since the last big Clave rainout. B.C. (Before Claves) we would just
sit back, relax, and play cards if the weatrher didn't like us (make sure to
bring the small change this time).


But I
know we all go there to fish the HATCH on penns so time to pray to the
no rain gods..........

Yep, it's The Hatch that keeps us coming back.

When you going up again?

I will be up Thursday night if things go right.........Thought you
were satying in one of the cabins........Bruce may have a bunk or 2
you could use I don't know if Rudy will allow it but you are welcome
to the trailer if ya need it........I guess we will have to invade the
tall ones streamer box and see what he has in it............Let me
know where you end up so we can maybe hook up (pun
intended)............

Makela, I didnt avoid the question?
I sent you an email telling you I have room for you and the kids and
to call me.
I was not sure when you were going to arrive because of the way you
wrote the email.
I also said if the Apt is booked you can stay at the Cabin at the
club.
Or if I close on the creek front property this week you could stay
there.
Get off your butt and give me a call.
Later

Will give you a buzz in the morning. Still checking out the weather, but
we'll be on a practice tour with the boys and the fly rods.

Dan and Matthew saw your website tonight and of course Dan loved his picture
in there, but Matthew is now jealous that he isn't posted (we'll have to fix
that this weekend).

Hoping the rain holds off, but we may spend time on one of the mountain
streams with freshly stocked fish (need to ensure they get instant
gratification, additional future fishing time may depend on it).

Talk to ya in the morning.

This was in the NWS State College discussion from this morning:
MAY 08 STARTING TO FEEL LIKE MAY AND JUNE 77...AND THE SUMMER OF
76...THESE WERE COOL AND WET. SEEMS LIKE IF WE HAVE IT NICE IN MID
APRIL...THEN PAYMENT COMES LATER.

I think we need to move the Clave and the trout to Nebraska. Partly
cloudy and mid 70s.

nah..there will be a bit of rain, but looks like more sunny than not. If
history repeats itself, as long as the river isn't mud, cloudy is better.
It's a shame for the PaFlyFshers group.............they were up this week.

As long as this next front doesn't trend too much north we should be O.K.,
Cap'n Bruce says the creek is unfishable right now, but level should be good
by the weekend. That mean lots of unmolested fish waiting for us all.

I prefer mid 60's when I'm walking about anyway. Perfect weather for a
Death March.

Damn sorry you can't make it Jeff always enjoy your
company..........As you say maybe next year.......We will try to keep
Mike out of Millers riffle and terrorising the fish into not eating
for 2 years will let all the ducks know they are safe for another year
and let the nude amish dancing girls of brownies know the bearded
barrister will not be present to pay there way through the Millhiem
school of ballet.......Have a good time at the wedding and fishing my
friend............

Frank, that is a 100% perfect description of the weather we sufffered on
Spruce Creek a couple of days ago, Monday, May 12.
It was the day of the "one fly" tournament. Everything except the road
surface was white as we drove down (from State College) at about 6 a.m.

I'll miss you Jeff. You owe nothing on the cabin! You don't have to
pay for
what you don't use.
