Probably too late, but…

May 22, 2022 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 4 Comments

Just a quick post to mention that I saw these our place Friday - I think they're Grey Fox Spinners. Now that it's Sunday, I don't know if they've 'come down' and laid eggs or not as I've departed the area for a few days. Some pictures... Body is close to 5 mm, the tails … Continue reading Probably too late, but…

Just When I Thought Something Was Wrong…

May 19, 2022 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 4 Comments

Well, you might be suspecting something is up right - since I'm posting the day after the previous one right? Ok, yep - there is ... something is up. Wednesday late afternoon I saw some fish rising. I've been conditioned to not get too excited as this has happened before over the past several weeks. … Continue reading Just When I Thought Something Was Wrong…

Second Cast Brookies and Ol’ Orange Tail!

May 18, 2022 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 6 Comments

Slate Run, and more specifically, Cedar Run recorded almost two inches of rainfall between about 3 pm Sunday, May 15th through 6 pm Monday, May 16th. Again, the Big Creek, Pine Creek, was getting down there where it could stand a shot of rain like this. So it has swelled a bit and is off … Continue reading Second Cast Brookies and Ol’ Orange Tail!

Well, It was Supposed to Happen, but…

May 13, 2022 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 2 Comments

Last weekend's rain was welcomed in the Pine Creek Valley as the water levels were getting pretty low for this time if year. Although, this area didn't get the amount of rain like those further south had gotten - it had rained steadily all day Friday and only a brief shower Saturday morning in Slate … Continue reading Well, It was Supposed to Happen, but…

Friday Night Flies Presents…

May 6, 2022 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 4 Comments

... WHAT? - an actual fly this time - no tying quite yet. I pulled in relatively late last evening and I only got to look at the water around dusk. It looked great and does today as I'm writing this, but we're getting a slug of rain today and tomorrow (if you can believe … Continue reading Friday Night Flies Presents…

Fishing With An Editor

April 23, 2022 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 5 Comments

Slate Run Sportsmen has a newsletter that is published 3 times a year normally. It takes a lot of work and creating the content along with composing the articles in the format to print copies along with creating an 'email version' takes considerable work. Thankfully we have an excellent person doing this for our club. … Continue reading Fishing With An Editor

It Starts Now for Me

April 22, 2022 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 3 Comments

I've been back for a couple of days and 'The Neighbor' has already harassed me about getting out and doing some fishing. Well, today the weather cooperated and I was able to get out for a few hours. 'A Spot' It looks pretty typical for up here in the mountains - a free-stone stream that … Continue reading It Starts Now for Me

SRS Spring 2022 Meeting

March 27, 2022March 27, 2022 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 2 Comments

We held our initial meeting of the year yesterday. We had 26 members in good standing and can consider it fairly well attended. While we did not have a presenter (correction edit here - thanks Barb!) for this meeting, we seemed to manage with a few discussions of business that we needed to address. One … Continue reading SRS Spring 2022 Meeting

Friday Night Flies Presents…

March 25, 2022 / Slate Run Sportsmen / Leave a comment

Getting Close! Has a few different meanings... this title. A personal relationship, sneaking up on your prey, or approaching the date of an event are a few. I'm using it as the approach to the coming fishing season and first SRS Membership Meeting. According to the PA Pressroom (released on 24JAN2022), the state-wide opener is … Continue reading Friday Night Flies Presents…

Similar Disclaimer to Last NAHOOP Post: Ok, I haven't fished these exact flavors of these either but if I were a betting man, I'm betting that these will do the trick. Ok, there's a bit more content NOT directly related to flies and fly tying in this post folks - so be warned! Would You … Continue reading Friday Night Flies Presents…
