Someone sent me a picture of the riffle coming down from Cherry Run into Penns at the head of Johnson's Pool, OMG what a sad tail it tells. The fellow said that he did not want to venture over to the stream for fear of making the fish scurry around and build up lactic acid and go belly up. Yes the night have cooled but there is just no water to develop oxygen cascading over the rocks yet, so stay away. On a good note Spring Creek is still fishing well, beetles after the morning Trico spinner fall, then if it clouds over a nice number of Olives begin to come off! Bald Eagle still has a ton of those 4-6" mini rainbows, you can catch them till your arm hurts, better get them before the big browns get all of them.
Last week I helped Spring Creek Chapter of TU with the "Duck Pond" clearing, Penn State people cut the trees and brush and we were there to help bring it up the bank and on to Route 26, I was the last guy in line getting the material over the guard rail and on to piles, well the guy giving me all that material was non other than Joe Humphries at 87 years young, man can that guy work. I have been friends with Joe for over 40 years and it is always a pleasure to just get him talking and take in what he has to say, we jut sat on chairs and talked for an hour after our work was done, I only hope that I'm in that kind of shape. He talked about the stocking of all those rainbows in Bald Eagle and said it will be good for our future but did agree that a lot of them become brown trout food. What a nice time, if you every have a chance to work on any project for this TU chapter please do so because you will see how things get done and how planning and social media come together and get results.
