Penns Clave Bronzeback Flotilla Update

Did some driving today, talked to two shop owners and have devised
what I think could be considered a *plan*. Subject to approval, of
course.

Departure Point = New Berlin. According to Mapquest, the trip from
Coburn to New Berlin is just over 30 miles and about an hour long.
There's a park just downstream of the PA204 bridge that has a crude
boat ramp. It's a very public area right behind the American Legion
bldg. Should be practically zero risk of vandalism, etc. while we're
gone.

Destination = Kratzerville. Should be about a 6 mile float with lots
of excellent fishing. No boat ramp at the departure point, but we're
not exactly hauling 200hp Bass 'n' Ski boats. This is private land
but is supposedly OK as a landing area. I will make a point to knock
on a door or two before clave time to ask permission.

The drive from Kratzerville to New Berlin is short - 12 minutes
according to Mapquest.

Here's a link to a map of the area:

By canoe, I can provide floatation for one other angler and can also
carry a cooler.

Flies: Ted recommended wet flies - big ones - preferably a cast of
2-3. He likes yellow on this creek at this time. He also recommended
a Reub Wood.

Of course poppers, buggers, hellgramites, crayfish and locusts may
also be effective. Stiff leaders and strong tippet material
recommended. 0X-2X?

As always, YMMV.

Looking forward to it,
Tom G
