Year in review

2023 was a good year not great but good. Had great fishing for the times that I got on the water, Grannoms at Fishing Creek along with Hendrickson's. March Bown's and Grey Fox on Penns were also wonderful below Coburn at a spot that I have not been able to fish in a few years because of some really weird people and a huge dobermen that I later found out was nice after meeting you!!! Sulphurs were also wonderful on both Penns and Spring Creek but they also tend to bring out a ton of people. The Green Drake is not something I care much about because of the amount of really dumb people out when they are on! The summer Olives and small tan caddis were wonderful below Coburn as well as the caddis on Spring Creek. The Trico's were outstanding on both Spring Creek and Bald Eagle but on the Eagle you have to get there within the first 2 weeks or you have a hell of a time catching fish after they have been fished over. The raspberries on Spring Greek were just outstanding again this year, ate a ton and took a pint home with me! This fall the Olives and Midges have been and still continue to be a great way to spend a cloudy afternoon. Results of the redd cout for this year was just wonderful, this year we counted 1,829 redds and in 2022 the count was 1,473 shows that our number of fish spawning has increased and that means more wild trout in the system. On a side not Jan. 20th @ 2:00 PM in State Colleg's "State Theatre" there will be aspecial screening of "Live The Stream- The Story of Joe Humohreys, tickets are $15.00 and be purchased at the door. Jim Sorry I did not say much about the Summer Olives but I did catch "3" of the largest trout of the year during that time frame but I will remember that sesson with the "dick head" and will not be going back to that favorite portion of Penns in the near or far future, time to move on it's just to much effort to deal with really dumb ass people.
