Hi all, (posted through google)

Long since I could do any fishing but hopefully everything turns out
in a way that I can go to Penns next year too, new job and all.

Done a lot of hunting this autumn (mostly Capercaillie, Black grouse
and Hazelhen) which helps keeping the cabin fever away. Even my kids
have started to complain that it's always dark outside, and there I
was thinking that they hadn't noticed from all the computer gaming
that they are up to.

So, anyone still fishing? Or have you had to give up on this season?

Yep still get out now and then. Trying to get back to my routine of at
least a trout in every month. That may be a lofty goal this time of year,
but ya gotta have goals right??

Anyway, was up on Penn's last week with Bruce Fisher, caught 3 or 4 a piece
in a few hours. We actually hit a run of about a half hour at peak warmth
(2-2:30) where we caught 75 % of our fish, then had to work hard for the
last one. Temps above average, in the 50's, even saw a few caddis or two,
and one lonely rise.

Nothing huge, but caught a couple 16 inchers between us. They were quite
thin as compared to what you saw this May, but they were quite healthy .
Lost a few short strikes/head shakers, as usual. After several bouts of
extremely high water this late summer/early fall it's good to see there's
still plenty of fish around.

We fished the lower project water from Mike's Run up to R.B. Winter. Water
was pretty high, I'm guessing at least 3 feet above normal flow for this
time of year.

Cabin fever was setting in so it was good to get out, may get out again soon
have a couple of weeks off around the holidays.
