Had the opportunity to fish a popular limestone creek in central Pennsylvania on Saturday. Temperature of about 55. Small browns munching on small (size 20-22) blue wing olives the entire afternoon. Nothing of any size was rising, probably staying deep. Couldn’t coax them out with streamers.

The rod is about 20 years old or so, maybe a little closer to 25. I e-mailed Sage a while back about it and I do believe its descendants are of the Discovery line.
😀 WebEd, You were fishing exactly where I fished Sat. I recognize the trestle and the river. You should have fished in the opposite direction against the bank you are walking on and after passing the lodge with the big tree in front the opposite bank to the big riffle where the end of that property ends. That big riffle gave me 3 big rainbows and 4 nice browns between Thurs & Sat. The browns are spawning and there are some nice rainbows to be had. If you fish down to the Spruce Creek bridge there are some nice pools there. I don’t know how often you fish there, but I’ve been fishing the river for about 6 years. Since retirement this year I fish sometimes 3 to 4 times a week. If you are going to fish there soon let me know and if I go to the river meet and show you some spots. A great river and when it’s on you can’t beat it. ;D
We were about a mile or so upstream from where Spruce Creek dumps into the Little J. We were in that area from about noon to 5 p.m. Went up past the trestle and there were some fast, deep pools there. Not an easy stream to maneuver, that’s for sure. That was my first time out there, second time for the guy I was with. May go back in the spring. It’s about a three hour trip.
🙂 WebEd, When you decide to come back in the spring let me know. There is some great fishing on that river, but it can also be dangerous when the water is up. I had one bad experience that gave me a healthy respect for it. Good hatches in the spring. The fall hatches this year were below par. Have a nice holiday.
Good to see you didn’t get in too much trouble for neglecting your boxes of books and papers Doc. Hope the wife didn’t hit you too hard with the frying pan :P.
How did you do?

You know what I like best about the picture at the top of this thread? Â Look at those gloves. Â That’s some cold weather gear.
Weren’t we talking about how it was almost warm enough to fish in shorts by the end of the day last weekend?  🙂

The gloves weren’t so much “cold” gear as “chilly” gear… That and our pre-wading, good-luck “toast” had run its course. ::)
;D No frying pan, just threats. I did get to the boxes and books and there are still more in the old office. :-X You sure do collect stuff in 38 years. Even found notes I took in med. school. Sentimental value, seems they don’t use leeches or blood letting any more.

Well maybe not up there, but if you go deep enough into the Mtns around here that’s cutting edge stuff. A shot of Granny hooch’s cure all, three shoots of Penicillin, or some good old fashioned blood letting, your choice $20. I keep going back for Granny’s Hooch fire water. 😮
??? I have to tell you one story. It happened the first day I went to work in a local hospital here in Pa., (you have to realize that I was a N.Y. boy), The first patient came in and I introduced myself and then proceeded to ask her what happened:”well I was redding up the house when I juked my neck and hurt my leaders”. I knew then I was in the twilight zone. 😮 Freely translated by one of the nurses who saw the look on my face: “she twisted her neck and hurt the muscles while cleaning up the house”. In the 25 years on and off I spent here the language only got worse. I’ve kept a diary and have to look up some of the meanings in the Dictionary of American Regional English. ::) See Yuns
