To add to Dave's advice,
Some questions:
What are the waters that we fish? Small creek(s)? Big river?
Penns is scary strong in places, bring a wading staff (not as a carry
on!) In the areas I fished Spring Creek is usually 10 to 20 meters wide
and easily wadeable
Any special flies that are a must?
My best luck has been on caddis emergers, Hares ears and Pheasant tails
Do I bring my own deck of cards or will you bring your marked ones? ;-)
I'm sure they will be sufficently marked, now where's that Kroner
exchange chart?
Do I need to shop for food in advance or is there a place nearby that I can
get what I need?
Plenty locally.
Do you plan dinner in groups or each and everyone to himself?
Don't miss Asadi's mexican night or Franks Moose and Barly stew
Whats lobster night? An excuse to get drunk?
The lobsters we're reffering to look like this. As Dave noted, no
excuse needed.

What will the climate be like?
Here's a link to Jonas's shop. Although it looks a bit dormant right
now it's a wealth of information on conditions as the trip gets closer

you can also look up Coburn PA on weather.com and look at the
historical. I've seen shorts and t-shirts, I've seen hail and I've seen
Brookies rising in Frank's tent.
I have a four piece rod Sage 490-4LL, will that cover my needs or do I bring
a heavier classed rod?
A 4 weight should work fine unless you fall into company with Petah and
end up night fishing with streamers
What will we be fishing for? (Brown trout, rainbow trout, cutthroat or
what?)
Yep, primarly although there are Brook trout as well.
Anyone wish to buy something from Sweden? Loop reel or anything like that?
Pancakes?
Really looking forward to meeting you.
