Penns Clave Bronzeback Flotilla Update
 
Did some driving today, talked to two shop owners and have devised
what I think could be considered a *plan*. Subject to approval, of
course.

Departure Point = New Berlin. According to Mapquest, the trip from
Coburn to New Berlin is just over 30 miles and about an hour long.
There's a park just downstream of the PA204 bridge that has a crude
boat ramp. It's a very public area right behind the American Legion
bldg. Should be practically zero risk of vandalism, etc. while we're
gone.

Destination = Kratzerville. Should be about a 6 mile float with lots
of excellent fishing. No boat ramp at the departure point, but we're
not exactly hauling 200hp Bass 'n' Ski boats. This is private land
but is supposedly OK as a landing area. I will make a point to knock
on a door or two before clave time to ask permission.

The drive from Kratzerville to New Berlin is short - 12 minutes
according to Mapquest.

Here's a link to a map of the area:
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=18...& datum=nad83

By canoe, I can provide floatation for one other angler and can also
carry a cooler.

Flies: Ted recommended wet flies - big ones - preferably a cast of
2-3. He likes yellow on this creek at this time. He also recommended
a Reub Wood.

Of course poppers, buggers, hellgramites, crayfish and locusts may
also be effective. Stiff leaders and strong tippet material
recommended. 0X-2X?

As always, YMMV.

Looking forward to it,
Tom G

Some of you guys are traveling great distances to fish some of the
finest trout waters in the eastern half of North America and you're
gonna go chuck ****in' wooly buggers to small mouth friggin' bass ?!?

ARE YOU CRAZY !!!!!

Never mind, don't answer that, it was a rhetorical question.

May I play through? :) I was thinking as I read about the float trip that it
would really make for a pleasant change of pace at Penns. Since youze guyz will
be there for a week or better anyway, a little smallie action should be a nice
shift. Good luck.

But then again, I'd be the guy searching for a hot dog in Paris.

A quick Google search turned up 723 hits on Saucisse de Francfort.

Good luck! :)

Indian Joe remembers---seems like many Americans visiting Paris go to
McDonalds for american made dogs--i only stopped to use the clean bathroom.
But i did order a German spring sausage someplace--the ingrediants were
chopper rather than ground- ah a piece of lung--some more heart--a little
piece of goider.

I, in fact, have eaten a hot dog in Paris. It wasn't by choice,
we were in a hurry and the first street vendor we came across was
selling hot dogs. It was a fascinating example of cultural differences
though.

First, they whacked a hot dog sized section off a baguette, and then
they jammed this long pointed metal rod thingy into one end and pushed
it almost to the other end. Then they pushed a button on the metal
rod thingy aforementioned and it steamed the bread from the inside,
so it was all warm and moist on the inside, after which they jammed
the hot dog down into the hole (sorry if this is starting to sound
pornographic.)

After all that, they asked if we wanted mustard or ketchup. We told
them we wanted both, and they looked at us like we were escaped mental
patients.

Why limit yourself to "some of the finest trout waters..." when only a

But then again, aren't you the guy that prefers one and only one brand
of beer? Me, I'm with Morgan Freeman's character in "Robin Hood" when
he says Allah loves wondrous variety. I happen to enjoy more than one
type of fishing and nearly all types of beer.

Oh, and that's "wet flies" not "****in' wooly buggers". G

And yes, we are all most definitely crazy, some more than others...

Plus, I found a great parking place today with reasonably easy access
for getting the boats out of the creek.

Only an escaped mental patient would put ketchup on a hot dog.

I have a co-worker who is a retired NYPD cop, I also have a wife who
puts ketchup on hotdogs. The Newyawker is a hotdog eating fanatic, he refers
to the product sold by street venders as "dirty water dawgs". One time we
were all having a dog together at a local stand and he was aghast that my
wife puts ketchup on hers. He said, "Back home, if you asks for ketchup at a
hotdog stand they'll tell ya "If you want ketchup, take your miserable ass
across the street to McDonalds, dey got ketchup there"".

Same reason I wouldn't go to a four star restaurant and order a double
cheeseburger, I guess. Not that there's anything wrong with double
cheeseburgers, you understand.

Yep, that's me. I have been known to drink something other than Budweiser

But I would expect that even you after spending a week eating at he same

Well, a trout stream changes menus a lot more often than a four star
restaurant. I can fish the same stretch of trout stream daily for months
and not feel the need for a "change of pace." That's the way I fish. I
much prefer to know one piece of water very well than to know several
stretches of water just so-so. One week on a particular stretch of trout
stream wouldn't even be a good start, especially if I planned to make an
annual trip to the same waters during the same week.

Like Tom said, YMMV.

Actually, neither the Parisians nor the New Yawkers have anything to say
about the use of ketchup on hot dogs that is worth taking note of. The
world awaits a definitive answer from central Illinois. Doug?

While I agree that neither New Yorkers nor Parisians should be trusted
to have worthwhile opinions on hot dog condiments, you should know that
in Chicago, the only place on the planet where hot dogs occupy their
rightful place as middle-American haute cuisine, requesting ketchup is
to admit to being a person of limited intelligence and low breeding.

Why yes, as a matter of fact it does, it both answers your question and

and...um...have you found a sufficient supply of boats for those of us
who are looking forward to being able to ride in a boat that we can get
into and out of the creek? Joe and I need a ride (well...joe seemed a
