Penns Creek Clave..

Anyone coming in early?

So far it sounds like most aren't coming in til Sunday, but drop me a line
if you'll be around and we'll get a tour or two in.

Will be up this Thursday the 17th to get a head start, staying til dark on
the 26th (unless exhaustion sets in before then). Staying in a Hemlock
cabin first few nights in then either a tent, or, downstream depending on
availability.

Have a few friends that I haven't fished with in a while that I will meet up
with on Tuesday/Wednesday during the Clave including Bruce over at Penns
Creek Angler if he can tear himself away from the shop.

Reports are good. Stream is near perfect level and fishing good. Expect
the usual suspects, and don't forget the spinners, we will be in prime time
spinner fall territory. If the temps persist we should have some good early
morning fishing opportunities too, so rest up...and pull me out of the tent
before you head out.

Don't know when Handyman is getting there, so might have to throw up
the tent. I'll be there Saturday.

That ain't healthy. It can **** up your electrolyte balance something
fierce.

when he confessed to tossing cookies (they were stale, store boughten,
chocolate chip something or others) into a crick.

I'm going leave here Friday and stay the night somewhere in Ohio.
There is no way I'll make the 1052 miles in one day. 20 years ago,
maybe, but now I need my beauty rest. Be puking tents half way across
the country.
When you getting there Mike (Handyman type)?

In some states, thats considered chumming.

Up here we mostly call it "chunking" or "hurling."

I'll be around. I would say Axelrod stretch but Joel's not coming in til
Sunday, are we allowed in that water before he shows?

I'll be in one of the new cabins til Saturday morning. Just saw a forecast,
70's for a few days leading into weekend. Most likely I'll be heading out
real early Saturday to fish at dawn and then crawling back to find a place
to rest before the Evening hatch? I'll have scouted Ingleby by then so
we'll know if that is the place to be or not. If the sulfurs are heavy up
into the Coburn trestle the run between there and Stan's may also be fine.
Check with Rudi too, if I run into him along the way I'll let him know where
I'm heading.

Are you brewing the stew? any idea when? If the weather stays above
average I'm thinking an afternoon gig would be a good twist. Or after dark.
The action may very well be a bit more concentrated then most years.
Morning, and evening, hatches.

Should be quite an event this year, have good vibes...
