Default Penns, Spring, and There Goes the Neighborhood

I visited Hemlock Acres for the long weekend. Took Friday as a
vacation day. I fished Spring Creek and did okay Friday and
Saturday. I used a beetle with a scud or pink san juan worm as
droppers. I had to stop in a store Friday to buy a long sleeve shirt
as I had packed zero and they were calling for 55 degrees and windy on
Saturday. I saw an amazing sight on Spring (both Friday and
Saturday). Fish were jumping out of the water, one and two feet into
the air. There must have been 6 in the stretch I was fishing
consistently taking to the air. I assume that they are getting pumped
(pun intended) for the fall spawn.

I measured the water temp at the tunnel bridge about 4 PM on Friday-
72 degrees. About 2 miles down stream it was 76. On Saturday, about
the sametime of day, and the front passed it was 64 at the tunnel
bridge.

I bought Jeff Buffenmeyers place over they weekend. Now I'm a trailer
admiral- I own a fleet. There goes the neighborhhod.
