As the 7 May date conflicts with my daughter's college graduation in
beautiful downtown Omaha, I vote for the 21-28th. That way, I can take the
spousal unit to a basabaroo game for the anniversary and then hang out with
the unwashed masses at Penns (this year, I'll be donating quarters for the
showers).

For the crew I think the latter is best to guarantee good weather. That
week has historically been very good weather wise(Vince!! have any stats?)
and there is still a chance of catching the Drake.

Just a note on the 7th-14th. That week can sometimes be a 'tweener for the
big thick hatches, but if the sulphurs start up that week, as they often
due, the fish can get plenty stupid when they see those yellow beauties the
first time of the year.

That being said, my vote is for the 21st-28th. Also as a note, checking out
some other possible Penn's accommodations for the week in order to
accommodate a crowd if needed. Also may look for a place for 2-3 days in
North Central PA around Upper Pine, Slate, Cedar Run, and/or Kettle Creek if
anyone is interested let me know.

Jeff/IJ/Wayne - Heard a nasty rumor you guys may not be coming up next
year...say it isn't so....

deepsea futures and the end of may is at the cusp of prime time for
reaping dividends.

Did you get a boat that can handle continued long distance research?

From May 7 to May 14, the 30-year average high temp rises from 66 to
68, and .79" of rain falls.

From May 21 to May 28, the 30-year average high temp rises from 70 to
72, and .90" of rain falls.

Not a whole lot of difference, although the latter period is trifle
wetter.

Does anyone remember the dates of the clave several yera ago when it
rained the whole time and Penns Crick resembled the Mississippi? That
one year alone could explain the higher rainfall from May 21 - 28.

depends on the research grant funding... if you've got the green, we'll
travel to the bluewater for all the researching any true fishingperson
could want...

jeff (hopin the boat will last until the catching of a marlin...after
that, well, it's a buyer's market)
