The reports are awesome. Big fish smashing cicadas. People getting
tired of catching fish. Time to head out.

Last Thursday am, smashing would not be the right word but they were
effective along the banks and under the trees. Seemed to be heavier
downstate. Had better luck with copper johns, stones, BWO, and slate drakes.

Seems Maryland has at least one decent little wild stream too.

Gee, the Smoky's a month ago, Pennsylvania and Maryland last week. Now
Michigan starting tomorrow night. July might be a little sparse except for
Riverman's visit but August looks like northern Idaho is in the plans. The
fishing life is good for a change.
