As we have but two months until the next rendition of the Penn's Creek
ROFF
clave, I just wanted to pass along a few things and ask a question of you
folks
out there. First, it has been brought to my attention that the current
edition
of Fly Fisherman magazine has an article in which Jonas(of the Feathered
Hook
Fly Shop/Bed and Breakfast) offers advice on Sulfur hatches. This will be
worth
reading for all attendees, as Sulfurs of three species will be the
predominant
hatch in mid-May. Despite commentary on Cicadas and such, all attendees
should
figure on fishing the following: Sulfurs, March Browns, Grey Foxes, Tan
Caddises.
These bugs in all stages will be worth imitating. Craneflies and assorted
larger Stoneflies will figure in as well, with Stonefly and March Brown
nymphs
the most popular for the nymphing set.
Secondly, I want to note that all cabin space at Hemlock Acres is
currently
booked for May 16-22. There will be available housing if needed at
Shaeffer's
cottages in Aaronsburg, and possibly still some room at the Feathered
Hook, and
the Millheim Hotel. Plenty of room for RV's and lots of space in the
meadow for
tenters at Hemlock Acres is available as well. Once again, I have offered
my
personal guarantee that weather will be ideal for this year's clave. That
guarantee, plus 65 cents will get you coffee at the Sunrise Cafe any
morning
from 6 am to noon.
Finally, several have asked, on and off ROFF, what the estimated
attendance
will be this year. As could be expected, I have no friggin' clue.
Therefore,
could anyone reading this, and planning to attend, please post to that
effect,
with expected timeframe visiting us. This will help me: A) Get a Clue and
B) Do
a little planning for ideal dates for side events such as group dinners,
raffle
nights, mud wrestling, asadi's martini and taco fest, etc. Not that my
planning
won't go out the window under peer pressure and the consumption of
intoxicants,
but it really would help. Thanks in advance!!!

Tom
p.s. Those of you planning to host/sponsor/watch special events, post
those
details as well. I will contact the Millheim as to the wisdom of their
conducting
a Lobster night while we are in town.
