Since trout don't take streamers, some of the smallmouth flotilla may
be catching fish on them. Dave Pa. was talking about going down to
the Big River to fish with streamers (bass I'm sure).

A lot of trout were succumbing to wet flys this trip (with the rain,
most of the flys were wet).

to fish is human........to release Divine!!!!

i caught a nice brown - maybe 14 inches - on a streamer in blue rock
hole. lost 2 huge fish there, one on that brookie streamer you tied and
gave me a few years ago, and one on a huge black leech with a hinge in
its hip and trailing hook. those big ones ate the fly aggressively on
the strip in shortly after the swing, stunned me with the viciousness of
the take, then simply turned in a power i've never felt before. had them
on until they decided to zip away...they broke me off laughingly easy
(5x and 4x tippet). i did a poor job in the play. i'm a believer. mike
told me where the biggest fish holds (on the last night of my fishing, i
might add), so i'm gonna try for him next year.

You're doing a bit better than you did out West when you used 6X tippet
with a streamer, but overall I think you'd be better off using heavier
tippet when fishing streamers.

lesson learned, advice understood...will comply. i'm simply unprepared
for and unaccustomed to catching big trout. i posted a bunch of penns
creek photos on abpf, including my biggest landed brown...

It's what keeps me coming back..

...they broke me off laughingly easy (5x and 4x tippet).

3X in Penn's is the standard. If they won't hit it, it's not worth the
heartbreak..although Roger showed up with some super-duper tippet from
the Northlands, maybe that would work better??

Had to give him a fighting chance...I did fish that hole on Sunday,
but they were all terrified.. I did happen to hit a hole for 6 fish
on the way out including a 19 incher, but it didn't look as fat as
your big fish..

I do believe an early 16 incher in Mike's run took the prize this year
and kept the incumbent's namesake..

It was good fishing with you again this year, glad the Great State Of
PA could oblige this time around with the plentiful hatches over many
a risin' fish. See ya in a few weeks.

nope...simply won't do. as i said on the dark walk out of the
stream...the last trout hooked on a green drake dry fly the friday night
before the end of the clave, with said trout doing an air ballet before
throwing the hook... THAT determines the name of the run for the year
til next penns clave. and...i believe you will have to agree i've got
the prize this year?

....and, as always it was a humbling and learning experience for me to go
a-fishing with you. praise jesus i didn't tag along with you AND
roger...i mighta figured i'm one of the unblessed and unworthy and
chucked the fishin altogether. it's fun every year up there. thanks to
you, tom, davepa, vince, and the other "pa-ians" for helping me in my
chasin of the great mystery...

pretender to jeffie's run)
