First Day for most folks

Saturday was the opening day for trout in the Northern section of PA and with the very high water the normal crowds were only a fraction of what they usualy are. Drove along Spring Creek and was just amazed to see the amount of guys using spinning gear and BAIT, don't know what the hell they were doing with the fish they caught but I'll bet they are not in the water today. Of course there we no waterways patrol men around the check them, what is up with that? Spring Creek was just full of anglers, that is not normal but with the high water everywhere else I guess it was the only game in town. We checked Pine Creek as is our tradition and the amount of people was only about 30% of a normal year due to the very high water, there were still ice jambs around! No insects!
  We stopped at Big Fishing creek and it looked just about right, a bit high 4-6" above normal but the color was just perfect and at the lower bridge before the "narrows" a great hatch and egg laying dance of little black stone's was in full swing coupled with a good amount of little black caddis but as we moved upstream the hatch seemed to loose steam, it's just about ready to get going!! Put this one on your list to watch, when the Forsitha are blooming the Grannom is on there!
  I took my daughter and granddaughter to Spring Creek Saturday night to check out our assigned clean up spot above "The Rock" , when we turned into the parking area all we saw was dead deer all around. Now who the hell does that some one who has a hard on for the Game Comm or just too cheap to have them disposed of? This has been going on for years and it looks as if it is someone who just wants to make a statement, hey catch this guy. We see this just above Bellefonte and above the 550 bridge, I have seen dogs and cats in the mixture, this dude is sick.
  Have to make a statement about the guides, long hair, beards, piercings and tattoos, who the hell wants to spend time with them and all they can say is "dude" and stick their nose in their "I" phones and text everyone, what a hell of a world we live in, glad I'm old because that is not how we old people treat folks. These guys should have stayed working at Burger King!
