Well, we've all heard this before haven't we? In this case it has some merit in that phrase. I could have titled this post "BLOWN OUT" as that is the state of Pine Creek pretty much as I'm writing this. But last week... before it starting raining - that is another story. During the first … Continue reading “You Should Have Been Here Last Week!”

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow!
"Well, by the time that I write this and it gets posted I can safely say IT'S OVER! Sorry about this folks but mayflies don't wait! I thought there'd be a repeat show on Tuesday, 6-4-2024, in the evening - but that was not going to happen apparently. So on June third there was tremendous … Continue reading Here Today, Gone Tomorrow!
Here And Now…
This will be a quick and short post! Yes, as I expected the Green Drakes are OVER! And I missed out on them, however... we DID get fiber optic internet hooked up at our abode and all is well there. I think it rained pretty good up the Pine Creek watershed as Pine is 'chocolate … Continue reading Here And Now…
Are They Already Gone?
I am remiss in my duties to report what has been happening in the greater Slate Run area. I left the area a couple of days ago and I was witnessing the Green Drakes on Pine in the few hours before sunset (again, when I was there a few nights ago)! They, the Green Drakes, … Continue reading Are They Already Gone?
The First Day ‘Back’ (and then some more)
4-23-2024 was a somewhat momentous day for me. It was the first day I've gone trout fishing since sometime in March of 2023! The Long and Winding Road? I like to think of this area as 'my spot' but of course it's public land and it's really everyone's. Looking UP! Looking DOWN! It was great … Continue reading The First Day ‘Back’ (and then some more)

Founder’s Rod 2023
Slate Run Sportsmen held their Spring 2023 Regular Membership meeting yesterday, Saturday March 25, 2023. After calling the meeting to order shortly after 10:30 we heard a stirring, heart-felt memorial written and delivered by longtime member and SRS Trustee Walt Franklin. I know it made me reflect on my association with Joe Lemmon, our past … Continue reading Founder’s Rod 2023
Not a Hair Out of Place Fly Tying Presents…
Friday Night Flies!!! A lot has happened in the past few weeks and we're still struggling with the loss of our President. But he would want us to continue and 'fight the good fight' I am sure of it. So... I've been tying some, reflecting on my interactions with Joe over the past several years. … Continue reading Not a Hair Out of Place Fly Tying Presents…
Navel Run Road Bridge Work In Process
Got back Wednesday, late. Thought I'd take a short drive down to see 'The Stretch'. Not sure when they started the 'actual' work but it's clear that they're working on the re-direction of Navel Run Road - the 'temporary' bridge. After it is traffic-worthy they'll start on dismantling the old flagstone bridge that is currently … Continue reading Navel Run Road Bridge Work In Process
