Penns weekend

Despite little rainfall, the place is still very much alive and well!

We finally got some rain on Monday (the 26th) -- .49 " in State
College. Except for .01" on the 20th, it was the first rain in
September! And we got damn little in the second half of August.

We're promised some more for tomorrow.

Now that I've seen and fished the place, and can picture it in my mind,
I'm looking forward to seeing some photos from you folks.......

Tom, Any idea what the water temp was? Did it at least feel cool?

Gene the water temp was 68 during the middle of the day this past
Friday. The air temp was 50 degrees @ 6am friday, Sat was 41 @ 6am and
I didnt get up early on Sunday. The water was downright cold in the
mornings I didnt get a temp. There are still fish alive in Penns but
they are either big or smallish and skinny. I've never seen it so low
for so long. Lets just hope for some water now that we have the temp's
on our side.

Bruce,
I had 59 degrees down in the braids below Winter Pool at around 2:00
Friday afternoon. When we got to Lewis at around 4:30, I didn't get a
temperature reading. Also didn't take one on Saturday morning.

Yeah your right it was 59.... for some reason 68 came out (oops). I had
a good caddis hatch Sunday night and took some nice fish on the beetle
you have me and few on a yellow hopper and a few on the parachute adams
I gave you. I cant wait to get back up there this Thursday, I'll be
knee deep in Penns Friday morning without the worry of rattlers all
over the banks. Ps: I couldnt fish that same pool the club guys came in
and they had that whole thing filled up. It was ok because it forced me
to check out some other places and they were productive.
