Penns Clave

Okay, lots of rain, but that hasn't detered this plucky band of
fishermen. Right now, we're on Spring Creek in State College with an
amazing sulfur hatch and the fish are going nuts. Its so easy, even
I'm catching tons of fish. Penns is blown out, so it should be a
couple of days before it's fishable.
Cheers all.

By the way, love that Yeaungling.

Just got a case of it from my grandson who visited Virginia over the
week-end.

Will take it to the Rapid on Sunday.

Fished Big Fishing Creek today. Every time the bugs started to come
off, it would start to rain. This is a bit frustrating.

You remember the last big rainy Penns Clave. Wear your flotation device to
bed.

Frank, you need to come up to Maine. It's *fun* fishing in the rain,
and the bugs come off rain or shine.

Penns is a fun place to fish, but when it rains........

Hey Dave:
Where in the GSoM are you? Let's fish this summer. I'll be home from
mid july to mid august. Send me some contact info, and I'll call you.

Wanna do the Rapid and the Magalloway? Best time, of course is June
and September, but I think we could find a few willing brookies and
landlocks in mid-August. Last half of July I volunteer as a cook at a
kids camp, so it will have to be August, the later the better.

They have a helluva lot of water up there - lots of snow this year.
Last I heard they were only running 800 cfs out of Middle Dam. I am
heading up on Sunday for a month, so I expect they will open it up to
some ungodly flow, like 5600 cfs. d;o( It's fishable if you have a
boat/motor. I have a boat and motor.

I'm in Massachusetts now. Look me up when you arrive in the States.
I'm in the book.

Sounds great, Dave. Last year I bushwhacked into the Rapid from the
South...wasn't familiar with the roads on the north side, so I found a
post somewhere where someone gave the GPS coordinates coming in from
the south. Then I just parked on the side of the dirt road and hacked
my way due north until I hit the river, and came out just below the
remains of Lower Dam. Had a great time fishing, but it was completely
ignorant of the lay of the river, etc, so it would be a real treat to
fish it with someone who knows his way around. I cast for an hour or
so from the Upper Dam also (hiked in from the gate), but it was
unproductive.

I'll track you down when I get back home, but I might need more info,
especially if you're off fishing. Is that you in Biffedid?

Don't forget to ask Myron about South Wales in VERY low water :-)

Damn it really was low that Wednesday but we enjoyed.
