Penn's Clave 2005

Is there a firm date for Penn's Clave 2005? I scheduled to have the
first week of June off per a posting I found via a Google search. Who
is the official Clave Meister this year?

Yes, the dates about 28 May to 5/6 June (the 6th is a holiday). Tuesday the
31st is the standard barley stew and raffle night (any one got some bear
meat?). The clave is centered on Coburn, PA and the environs.
As always, Clavemeister Tom Littleton is the host with the most. As it sits
right now, it looks like he don't do **** any more and is pretty much
retired. In all honesty, he does a ton of stuff in the background (cabins,
ties flies, appears at fly shop openings), so it just looks like he don't do
****. During the clave, we all think we got the creek sussed out (and we're
wrong), so we just let him go off and fish and raid his fly stocks whilst
he's away.

Doubtful for me Mike. Work is pretty busy and I'm taking a few days off
the end of this month to go down to the farm in KY and put in the deer
food plots and I've already committed to going to the Western Clave in
July. Moira is low on leave after some extended time off this winter for
medical stuff. Finn McCool is of course always up for a romp in the
woods but this Monday she goes in for more paw surgery to fix what the
last surgery did not fix.

Allen

hey Mike..... it's doubtful for me this year. I hope to attend if I have in
place a competent manager to run the shop by then.... there is a small
chance of that happening. if so, i'll try to sneak away for a few days at
best.

tom, i wouldn't take that crap from frank. you are the best clavemeister,
even if ya dun do sheet ;-)

all you guys, gonna miss ya, have fun and catch a bunch!

Had to trim down the dates myself this year (it's killing me) but will be
there for several days. Most likely will be there from the 26th through the
30th, and then maybe back late Friday the 3rd and last day on Saturday the
4th. Anyone else coming in early?

Packing up the plantation right now for a brief weekend excursion up to
Penn's. Will supply a quick trip report when I can late Sunday or Monday.
Expecting beautiful weather and high water. It's been dry here for 10 days
though, with nothing but blue sky in the forecast for the next 5 days.

Frank, I'll have to break with tradition and miss raffle night this year,
along with your traditional stew. I did break out that leftover stew from
deep freeze a few weeks back and it still had it's punch. It kept the
family away for at least three days..

When are you arriving? Wouldn't be the same if I didn't get to fish with
your kitchen sink at least once. :^)

Stan - are you guys getting in at a decent time on Friday? I suspect the
drake hatch will be on by then so you'll want to arrive early enough to
stake out a decent streamside location late afternoon sometime. If it is
just beginning, you'll want to be downstream somewhere, maybe Weikert, or
Cherry Run. It will be a bit different than you are used to, it will be a
Carnivale atmosphere, including all of the people. Keep an eye on the
reports through, you should be able to get stream reports that will confirm
if the hatch is on.

Now, I've never understood marketing, but does it seem a trifle... odd...
that a campground would publish a picture of a bear wandering past a picnic
table in their camp, in broad daylight? I enjoy Brother Bruin as much as
the next guy, but not necessarily in camp.

(or is that a picture of Wolfgang retreating? :-)
