Bridge Progress & Low Water Conditions
A 'Prequel' Note I realize that many of you who 'follow' this blog get an email with the content of this post in it. I believe most may simply read the email and that's that. This is perfectly fine. However, the full 'experience' of viewing this update is not necessarily coming through to you when … Continue reading Bridge Progress & Low Water Conditions
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

Green & Slate Drakes, Tiny Olives and the SRS Summer Membership Meeting
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…
