Penn's creek prefish
Joe, we fished the Yellow Breeches and had a ball. Nice stream, amazing
number of trout, and a lot of fun. At the Allenberry you could put the wife
on a tennis court and slip down to the Breeches for a dozen trout or so
before lunch; come in for a siesta, and catch the evening hatch for another
dozen or two. You can ignore the signs and drive right down next to the
pavillions on the creek, park and fish for a bit and not work up a sweat.
This stream fishes differently than the NC streams. You can stand within a
few yards of where you entered the stream and catch trout all day. Fish
nymphs until you spot rising fish then cast to them. the hatches will vary
and so will your methodology. It is like fishing a mile of stream while
standing around about 30 linear feet worth of water. Darndest thing you
ever saw. You'll have a hoot!
Look up Tim Trexler (salmon fly tier), he just moved up there and bought a
house on the Breeches just downstream from Allenberry.

JMiller and IJ are driving up from carolina mountains and considering
hitting a Pennensvania stream on way up. Could probably make a late hatch
Friday and most of day Saturday the 15th .
Wayne did not you and the lovely Dianna fish britches or Latort a couple
of years ago? Comments?
Anyone got some ideas send them along or anyone want to show us around
let
me know.
Is there a cheap hotel and good bar close? Do they let indians in the bars
in Penn?
Jeff--whatever you decide fits me--this is your trip--I'm just riding
along
while you steer White Buffalo.
I have no maps of Penn. --had an old one my ancestor WC McIntosh left us [
he was 1st Lt. in 47th Alabama Inf ]-it had blood on it and was full of
bullet holes and the only part of his message written on it we could read
said " bad ass yankeees"
