why bother??

I was going to post a TR, about a 4 hour run to the Tulpehocken that yielded
a couple trout under gin-clear water conditions, but then the Pirate regales
us with tales of big fish and diarrhea in far-off Russia. Geez, I seem so
second-rate!! Suffice it to say, it was good to be out on a stream for the
first time since June, my bum ankle held up quite well, now maybe the autumn
at Penn's may be fruitful.

I doubt you will ever be second-rate, Tom. Funny, but my post didn't
show up on my server.

Please, post your report. I'd like to read it.

Nothing much to speak of, actually, David. The water locally is low, slow
and gin-clear. Herons are working the edges,and the trout, which are pretty
visible, are laying low. Every so often, they will move into the current to
nab something. #22 Adams midges seemed to be close enough to "something" to
fool a couple, but they were the smaller, stupider members of the
population. No tricos in any number, a few tan and cream caddis about, a few
midges and some little olive mayflies as well. We could use a good, cool
rainy stretch, which, if form holds, will occur precisely when I arrive at
Penns in a couple weeks and continue through the 4 days I am there,
rendering fishing challenges of the wet kind!
