Last week I looked at all the USGS sites and found that Penns was in the best shape, Spring and Bald Eagle were both too high to support a decent Trico spinner fall- hell the trout could not take them that fast as they would float by them! As one again cleaning the parking area at the walk over bridge below Coburn I met a fellow from Manitoba, Canada that has a summer cabin on Big Fishing Creek who had his dog over on Penns for a long walk an swim, talk about a long drive for a summer vacation- wow. Once again I had to clean the parking lot, just full of crap and one pile had nothing but sun tan lotion bottles on it (4 to be exact) as I was getting ready to fish one of the local fellows drove down and showed me more of his pictures and tell me about the 70 year old from Milheim that has long white hair and his habit of coming down at 5-6 AM and fishing minnows and taking every trout he catches home, some time eating them or selling them to the Amish, the fellow also told me that he and another guy called the PA Fish Comm. and got no where, heck it took them 4 days to call them back and the Waterways office told him that he was to busy to come over and take a look- what the hell ever happened to the old days when a poacher would be a target of an field trip, I guess a few trout are not that important any more,maybe the locals should teach the fellow a lesson on driving a truck that has holes in the tires or something else that will make him think twice before he does this crap again but these types of guys never change till they die or become to old to do their thing. If you are there in the early morning and see this guy fishing minnows and in the act of keeping fish do confront him, this crap has to stop.
Tried to fish this Wed but it again rained like hell for most of the morning, my advice buy an ark.
