My wife decided to go to DC for the cherry blossum festival opening weekend here.

I will be at home playing with barbie dolls with my daughter.

I talked to agood friend of mine who is a fish cop. He said that they only enforce the 25 foot rule around the nursry waters.

Thanks Booth......

doc. thanks for the info. i know last year the chief and i were talking with 2 water way conservation officers in brockway on the sunday of the 1st weekend and they said they can't get the ph level worked out that's why they had the piles of limestone sitting in the woods near the gameschool. last year they tested at richardsville, it was o.k. they stocked the fish, came back the next week and the ph was sky high and the fish were gone. i love fishing north fork i know they are working hard to fix it. it's such a beautiful stream to fish. we'll se you next weekend.

rich, how bout it here in erie? i think winter might finally be over.  

if the rains don't quit pretty soon i guess
i'll be talking fish at the sigel hotel  as you'll
never get close to the streams .
 i do love north fork but as you know how slippery the creek bed is then you add hi
water and you have the making of a hi risk
going in situation in ice cold water.
maybe the younger fisherpeople could handle
it , but us older fellows it could be pretty hard
to get out.

No Time...

Stop in the Dixon Corner Country Store on Sat or Sun and introduce yourself !!

With any luck, winter is over, but I wouldn't bet on it.  I've seen snow  in all but june, july and august when I lived in Waterford      dd

The PH issues on North Fork explains why the fishing gets good in the upper ends of the fly area.  The water seems a lot better from about Deemers Camp down.  

no time? was that you a couple years ago that fell in north fork at richardsville? it had rained all day friday and quit around 6 p.m. the next day the creek was pretty fast, high. this poor guy lost his footing and fell in. i grabbed his pole and my brother in law helped him out.

I know that it wasn't me(nobody else was around) that fell in that creek, but that is one of the slipperiest creeks i have ever fished.  dd

Well I Finally decided that where i am headed tomorrow.  

The Westbranch of The Clarion.  It won't be the same this year my Dad cant fish for a couple of weeks still so ill miss spendhing time with him.  

On a lighter note I have already caught 90 trout on the year most of which were from the project waters in Brookville.  

Looks like I'm heading for Farnsworth in Warren Co for the morning  dd
