Spring Creek, Centre County, PA: September 18 & 19, 2009

Got a chance to fish my “Home Water” recently. I say Home Water in quotes, because although, I live 3-hrs away I consider Spring Creek to be just that. I know it better than any other stream and I find myself testing my skills [...]

Well, it has taken me a little while to get this trip report posted. Sorry folks – but I have a good reason. My camera took a little swim in the Little Juniata. I guess I should call it my ex-camera. I let it dry out for several days – no [...]

Thankfully we didn’t let the weatherman dissuade us from our trip. He had it right about rain in the morning, but the afternoon turned out [...]

Visited Pennsylvania’s famed Spring Creek on Monday April 12, 2009. It was a good trip. The first place we hit was the former McCoy Dam location just downstream of Bellefonte, PA. Prior to the removal of this 12-ft high dam in September of 2007, there had been a dam in this location [...]
