Wow, nice return, Mu! And, a great story about Penn's and about Jack, who is
a hell of a guide. He also rescues fly vests that nitwits like me leave in
the woods! It was great to read your tale, and glad you enjoyed your stay in
Central PA!! Had you been 3 weeks or so later, you could have fished Penn's
pretty successfully with 3-inch long streamers, and probably Spring as well.
Elk would have been teeming with spawners, illustrating the variety of
angling one sees up that way over a season. Care to join us for a Clave,
Memorial Day week??

I won't be heading east Memorial Day but I'll raise a glass for ya
from my porch. Oh yeah and Jack rescued a reel for my friend too.

Never fished the Ranch. Just the public section. Since moving to the
SF Bay area have not been back to eastern Sierras. Last time on Hot
Creek I had an interesting encounter. I was just swinging by there
for about half hour on the way home. Not in the mood to stalk and
crouch I reached into the flybox for a big ugly. Turk's tarantula.
Perfect. Let's look for a dumb fish. I began walking and smacking
that fly as hard as I could. I came upon an underwater ledge where a
group of suckers were doing their thing - sucking. There were so many
of them it was disgusting. As I made my next cast a 20+ brown emerges
from within that writhing mass of suckers and pounds my fly. I stood
there paralyzed as the big brown spit the fly and disappeared back
below the sucker orgy.

Oh, I was talking about the RXR Ranch section of the Henry's Fork, my
"adopted home water," not Hot Creek Ranch .... just brought up the early
morning stalking on Hot because I knew you were in California

Thanks mu--I plan to attend Penn's clave for fourth visit this year and have never had much luck with small small yellow flys perhaps this year I will try large hopper or hopper. I think this is the year Tom Littleton is going to put on demonstration class in use of streamers !! So I better get outside and practice casting--it is 62 degrees in coastal carolina !

That class is held at the end of October. This year's May seminar will be on
fishing pairs of wee little wet flies. Once you tie them on, they almost
fish themselves....no further eyesight needed.

Damm Tom you sound as confused as the man in our white house---he
loads up his staff with crimanils who don't pay their taxes but think
it is allright if they say -I'm sorry and I accept the responibility--
or lobbists who he said were not allowed in Washington, and today said
if he did not accomplish some of his promises he would not get
relalected [ that what politicans do -promise anything to get elected -
the next day they forget that and start worring about getting
realected] so I own lots of dry flies and the class is going to be on
using wet flys--can I attend the class if I plan to use two drys and
put a sinker on the tippet ?
Joe the elder---after my two drinks please excuse spelling and I also
voted by the guy !

kept the above, just for sheer humor value, Joeg!
Don't worry, I'll dole out the wets, my elder student. You just show up for
class.....and pour me a couple of whatever you're drinking afterwards!
