I've been back for a few days here over Memorial Day weekend and the fishing has been interesting out on Pine. With the temperatures predicted here over the next few days, Pine is warming quickly and we advise to take it easy on the fish when the water temperatures get to the 70° mark. However, … Continue reading Green & Slate Drakes, Tiny Olives and the SRS Summer Membership Meeting

Probably too late, but…
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…
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!
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…
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…
... 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…

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
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
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…
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…
