Penn's questions

A glance at topozone.com shows Coburn at 1020 feet and those ridges
around topping out about 1550 feet. It's not the height but the
steepness, at least that's what I tell myself as I lay sucking in pine
needles trying to catch my breath.



i was interested in vince's statement that seemed to imply weather and
temps were related to changes or variety of elevation around penns. i
didn't remember the exact elevations around penns, but i didn't think
there was enough to really be a major factor. but, i'm sure a 500 foot
change would have some effects. still, i've been fishing at the base of
grandfather mountain (around 2500 feet) and then gone up to the summit
(about 6000 feet), and there was a patent weather change.

Several seasons out of how many????

john roughly, my personal statistics to date show a 30% chance of being
dry...

Willi was present for the worst year for heavy rain in nearly 20 years.
May is
NOT, I repeat, NOT a typically raining month in PA(April often is,
though). I
can remember several seasons with NO significant rain in May.

Well,

the ticket is booked and paid for.

Anyone wish to buy something from Sweden? Loop reel or anything like
that?


(BTW, what's the price of a Loop Adapted set of heads for the 12'4"
8/9 Blue? I might go for a set.)


Is this what you were thinking of?

Complete kit consisting of 4 shooting heads, 3 line tips, running line and
LNL nylon tippet

I have running line and Polyleaders (same as the line tips) so I only
really need the 4 shooting heads. Do they sell those as a set or
individually? In fact, I can make do with the floater and the fastest
sink as this is what I usually end up using on other rods/heads.

Thanks Roger

I might still go for the full kit -- I'll let you know a few weeks
before Penns which way I want to go. It'll also give me a chance to
check with the Canadian distributor to see if he has them yet. My
spey buddies have been sourcing all of their Scandinavian heads
through sources in Norway and Sweden so I'm not sure if they're
available here yet. I have the first Loop rod in the neighbourhood
but Loop reels have been around for a while.

Thanks for taking in the time to check these out.

Here, we get "Lake Effect" precip. Air moving across Lake Erie (elev.

I always thought the worst icing in the US was the North Cascades in
Wash State although it's for the same reason, warmish water in Puget
Sound, Straits of Juan De Fuca and the Pacific hit the Cascades and the
moisture is sent up over the 10,000 peaks. I know that's where they
tested the Concorde for icing. Of the four times I've declared an
emergency to ATC two of them were icing where they kept trying to hold
us in ice and the Prowler does not have any airframe deice so it turns
into a falling safe quickly.

You guys play nice for the wek, I'm off to Charleston for business then
a stop on the way back in NC to quail hunt with a buddy.

For some reason I can't see Tom's post, but I've read it on Scandicangler's
mirror of ROFF.
I'm looking forward to meeting you all and thank you for all your answers.
This should be fun, but damn what a looooong flight time. I have a stop in
Reykjavik on Iceland and then Boston.

Your posts from Saturday are jus now showing up on my server.

Roger,

You seem to be back from hunting! How was your hunting this time?
Lot of greenish soft hackle feathers in your backpack?

Could be. I've read this area's the worst, but we can't believe
everything we read.

I can say thast the worsst iceing by far I've encountered in some 50
years of committing aviation was near Williamsport, PA, just NE of
here.

In about ten minutes I picked up so much clear ice I could just barely
hold altitude, at 80 knots, with full power, in a Cherokee.
