If conditions are bad at Penn's.......

You may already know this, Tom, but the NWS is prophesying 30 or 40%
chance of rain every day from now through Saturday.

Of course, it also forecast a lot of rain and even issued flood
watches last weekend, but since the 13th we've had only .01 inch.

I can assure you....., that Spring Creek is merely a myth


I've lived almost on the bank of Spring Crick since 1960, and I ain't
never seen it no better than it was on Wednesday afternoon.

Even I caught fish!

One couple, who had driven over from Chagrin Falls, Ohio, claimed they
had caught 20.

Good luck!

Well all, it is time for another long-overdue trip up to Penn's. We are

getting
into the midge season, but Slate Drakes are about as well. Further, recent
rains have brought the Creek to a very good streamer-fishing level. Mr

Reid
threatens to bring a float tube for 3-streamer Stan's Pool; I am entrusted

to
bring 50 yards of sturdy rope, and will pack a camera for photos of the
near-inevitable rescue. Any reading this should feel free to head to

Hemlock
Acres from tomorrow night until midday Sunday and hook up with us.
If conditions are bad at Penn's, I might suggest a trip to Spring Creek.

Of
course, given my 25 years of experience sitting on barstools and such, I

can
assure you, with my head as far up my ass as the next Fortenberry, that

Spring
Creek is merely a myth, and is but an overgrown, unfishable swamp.

Likewise,
the poorly named Big Fishing Creek, which shouldn't even appear on topo

maps,
yet somehow does. No one should bother with either!!
Peterson Guide in
Hand,
Tom
PS--noted in RDean's summary that Opie has been investing in smoking

jackets.
Advice for you, Mark, for Serious smoking, avoid the jackets.....the

seeds
will
just burn annoying little holes in them when they drop on the tweed,

and
damned if that doesn't just **** a fellow right off......

Hell, we've had that same forecast in New England since April.

As an extended damp and cool Spring, summer in New England this year hasn't
been all bad...
