Default Penns Accident

Got my trailer out of mothballs last Sunday (4/15). Fished Spring
Creek Monday and Tuesday and clobbered them both days- BWO emergers.
Monday it changed from rain to snow and back again several times but I
was catching fish. Fished Wierkert on Wednesday. I got one on a
stone fly at the mouth of Cherry Run. Friday and Saturday were both
very sunny and I saw maybe 6 fish caught both days! That seemed to be
the experience of all those who "reported in" to the Feathered Hook.
Jonas figures we're about a week behind in the hatch schedule. On
Saturday there were only a handful of grannoms visible at Ingleby.

There was a weird accident at the parking lot at the tunnel bridge on
Penns Saturday afternoon about 4 PM. As I came down the road in front
of the cabins and could see the bridge I could see the parking lot at
the end of the road was full. There was a PA State Police car parked
by the bridge. I turned around and parked to fish a few hundred yards
down from Stan's bend. A man taking a walk and coming from the bridge
told me that there had been an accident. A woman put her foot on the
gas pedal instead of the brake and slammed into 3 cars! How she did
that in such a small space I cannot fathom. As I got my rod rigged
two tow trucks came past me with cars that were obviously not
drivable. One had no front fender and the hood was smashed. Just
when you thought it was safe to park at the tunnel....
