Penn's Creek, a love/ hate relationship

Spent a wonderful afternoon at Penn's the other day, not much going on- wind and cold water prevented the insects from getting going. It was a really nice time to be able to catch up with people I have not seen in a long time, Piffy, Tom B. and a few others, time well spent. We all have different paths in life but we share a love for trout and Penn's Creek so that makes our bond strong. We watched a single trout on the far bank in the shade take about every March Brown that floated over him, no sense trying for him because he was just to dam far away at 600+ cfs! Saw March Brown's, Grey Fox's, some larger duns (never got close to one) some giant stoneflies just floating on the surface but nothing eating them.
  We talked about how some of the newer guides are just concentrating below AFREWO and making it really hard for us locals to fish in some places. I do not understand why the hell they come down here from Coburn, you have really good water up there!? I know we do not own the stream but do you have to screw up someone else's area just for the sake of a buck? Take your clients to your local waters and guide them there or do you not want them in your special fishing areas. If the current parking and guiding continues I think there might be a day of reckoning in our future, so be careful about where you park and fish.
  I bet the idiot will be singing the praises of the Green Drake coming soon, that means we will take some time of fishing and just go sit on the bank and take pictures.
  In the mean time go fish White Deer or Loyalsock.
