On Friday after I had breakfast at the Reid (plus) cabin I tried Spring
Creek but no action, wrong raincoat and just getting wet. I went to
Hooters in State College for a beer. I then decided to try a little
more fishing so went to Penns down around the bend from the tunnel
parking lot. I hooked 2 nice ones using a BH PT. One I had on for
about 10 seconds. The second felt real heavy and tore upstream and got
off. Saturday I fished with my friends who arrived Friday night. We
caught fish but you had to work for them. Very technical. I got 2
sight casting with a gray emerger. We didn't fish on Saturday night
but went to Stan's bridge to watch the hatch. We were glad we did.
Thousands, perhaps millions of the GDs flying. There were 3 guys below
the bridge and 2 above. I saw a total of 3 fish caught from 8:20 to
9:15.
PS while waiting for my friends Rudy came by walking his dog. I
mentioned Frank Reid's offer to me to let my friends stay in the cabin.
He wasn't keen about the idea and that was just fine with me.
