We found the bass in this waist deep run. One of the deepest sections of the creek was actually wadable!!

John never left this pool in over 85 minutes of fishing a single white popper he caught over 15 bass from 10" to 18". The rest of us tried the same technique but didn't catch a thing! He has the magic fly!

Smallies loved the shade of this bridge. We counted over 30 of them in the hole under this bridge!

Jonah fishing within arms reach of his beer. These smallies in this run had a thermal refuge of a very cool feeder 100ft upstream. We counted at least 50 fish in this run.

Great pics!!!!!!! Those are some fine bourbons right there, alas I can't have a drop with the meds I'm on so I'm glad it's there not here.

Congrats on a great time

Nice looking creek overall. I need to get a line wet here soon. I'd be tying several of those white poppers right now. My bourbon days are over,it looks like you had a great time and that's all that matters.

Ladies and Gentlemen... Here's a little factoid to keep in the back of your brain for 2012. YOUR ALL INVITED to next year's event. 2012 will be our 4th year of hosting it. So if your in the Northern PA area in July 2012 stop in for an hour, a day, or all 4 days! It doesn't cost anything.... free food, booze, and FISHING! Very soon, I will be announcing 2012's dates. (Yep, it takes us a good full year to plan this all out).
