Default 5 year plan

move to Centre County, Pennsylvania. Fish a quarter mile per day on(at
various times): Penn's Creek, Elk Creek,
Spring Creek, Little Junianta Creek, Spruce Creek and Big Fishing Creek.
This should provide variety, as well
as a chance to catch some damned fine brown trout in pleasant scenery, in
a spot you can pretty well fish all year around.
Tom
p.s. You can use bad weather stretches, when they occur
to restock all the flies you lost and concoct new things to
appeal to some of the fussiest fish on the planet.



Tom, I've read enough of your posts to know you truly love your home waters
and that you enjoy fishing that would appeal to me. A week at a clave
doesn't sound like my style and it's one hell of a long drive to
Pennsylvania, but I DO have it in the back of my mind as a wannadosomeday.
If I make it, I hope you can take a day to show me around a bit, you strike
me as a person I'd like to meet.


Honestly, if I drive to Pa towing my trailer can I expect to make most of a
summer out of it, at least a month or more? I only fish a couple hours a
day, trying to pick the best hours, of course, and I enjoy getting to really
know a place so I don't need a lot of water. I'd need a place(s) to park
the rig without severely breaking the bank or being in a Walmart parking lot
G a basic forest service style campground is just fine.

Is access relatively available? When I fished the Letort, 8 years ago, I
often expected people to come out of their homes and shoot me G although
the only person that came out was Charlie Fox's daughter, I was told !! (
Lawson has a picture of the 'picnic table' behind that house, in his Spring
Creek book ) Anyway, I spent much of my time wondering where I could be
legally, not something I enjoy.
