Default Dusting off my ROFF Voice - so WTF's up with Penns this year?


"Ken Fortenberry"
I can't imagine why a dedicated midwestern fly fisher person
would drive all the way to Piddle****, Pennsylvania to fish
in the dark of the night during the last week of May or the
first week of June. Hell, if we want to fish in the dark we
can wait til mid-June when the Hex hatch.

Ken...I remember talking with Tom one afternoon by the stream and I was
joking that fishing at Penn's was like taking a course in Flyfishing 101.
but it is so much more than that...heck, I am lucky to catch a fish on those
waters but when you do...it's freaking great....it's more like advanced fish
708!


You cannot believe how ....how ... is the word 'fertile' those waters
are....

If the fish are on...you can walk, wade splash and swim to your spot and
there are still fish that never heard you....

If you have been there, pardon me for saying, but it is truly a gentleman's
paradise. Lush verdant green canopy ferns paths clean friendly... and there
is a lot more words to use with better descriptions.

Like I said, I don't fish that good....but I truly enjoy being there.

The word you're searching for is "fecund."
I've been around the world, fished for trout in places that have been
written about for hundreds of years and have yet found a place that
continues to amaze/awe/beguile me like Penns. And, at the end of the
day, you can buy an AMERICAN beer.
