Default Penn's creek prefish

JMiller and IJ are driving up from carolina mountains and considering
hitting a Pennensvania stream on way up. Could probably make a late hatch
Friday and most of day Saturday the 15th .
Wayne did not you and the lovely Dianna fish britches or Latort a couple
of years ago? Comments?
Anyone got some ideas send them along or anyone want to show us around let
me know.
Is there a cheap hotel and good bar close? Do they let indians in the bars
in Penn?

Jeff--whatever you decide fits me--this is your trip--I'm just riding along
while you steer White Buffalo.
I have no maps of Penn. --had an old one my ancestor WC McIntosh left us [
he was 1st Lt. in 47th Alabama Inf ]-it had blood on it and was full of
bullet holes and the only part of his message written on it we could read
said " bad ass yankeees"

Hell...if I'm steering, let's take my truck. ride is better, satellite
radio is absofukkinlutely better than your yanni tapes, it doesn't have
a gazillion road miles on the chassis and engine (though it does have a
bit of water in the brake line) and, i could throw the gheenoe in the
back so we could have a sweet ride down the the river chasing smallies.
you know you're welcome to use the truck for any non-fishing jaunts
you need to take.


I have no maps of Penn.


who needs a stinkin ol map anyway...are we men or... well, ok...we'll
get one at the state line.

Joe, we fished the Yellow Breeches and had a ball. Nice stream, amazing
number of trout, and a lot of fun. At the Allenberry you could put the wife
on a tennis court and slip down to the Breeches for a dozen trout or so
before lunch; come in for a siesta, and catch the evening hatch for another
dozen or two. You can ignore the signs and drive right down next to the
pavillions on the creek, park and fish for a bit and not work up a sweat.
This stream fishes differently than the NC streams. You can stand within a
few yards of where you entered the stream and catch trout all day. Fish
nymphs until you spot rising fish then cast to them. the hatches will vary
and so will your methodology. It is like fishing a mile of stream while
standing around about 30 linear feet worth of water. Darndest thing you
ever saw. You'll have a hoot!
Look up Tim Trexler (salmon fly tier), he just moved up there and bought a
house on the Breeches just downstream from Allenberry.

Is there a cheap hotel and good bar close?
Pennsylvlania was settled by the dregs and cast-offs of European
society; if there ain't a good bar close by, you ain't in
Pennsylvania.

Do they let indians in the bars in Penn?


Yes, but no firewater!

You'll be cordially welcome in any of the bars on the way as long as you don't
say anything that would infer you don't like Penn State.

Lissen, Frank, I'll have you know there are fewer Penn State football
players in the slammer than any other Big Ten school!

Paterno doesn't know where to recruit. :-) Look at the Cornhuskers. Lotta
championships 'cause their football players got a lotta exercise picking up
trash alongside the road. Toughens them up, doncha know.
There was one store in Omaha that sold a "Black Shirt" Nebraska Jerseys that
turned inside out and became reflective highway crew shirts. Got a lot of
flack and then UNL threatened to sue them. They pulled the shirts off the
shelves.
