This year is the year of the 17 year cicada brood XIV. Why do I
care? Well, it just so happens one of the core areas of brood XIV is
CENTER COUNTY PA!!! http://insects.ummz.lsa.umich.edu/fa.../BroodXIV.html

And guess what? They're starting to emerge right now so by the time
Penns rolls around, it should be cicada heaven. Big fish going after
big orange and black bugs to big for the tiddlers to gulp down. This
should be like the green drake hatch on steroids, lasting all day. No
sitting around for the evening spinner fall. So bring your cicada
patterns and be ready and forwarned.

and, speaking of bringing things to penns...have y'all done away with
the raffle or do i need to scurry about for my pitiful contribution?

Well, it's too far for me to haul the gear for my unlamented barley
stew. Don't think there's a raffle either.

Frank, I know you called thanks... I was just busting your stones
about getting the patterns someplace other than my shop. A friend who
has lived on the creek for many years said this "Be prepared in every
way this is a once in a life time event for anyone over 55". Ps: the
March Brown hatch is in full swing right now on the lower water.
See you when you get here.
