Just starting a thread to see how much legit interest there is for this (and to keep the discussion out of other threads). Sounds like Fox, PP, Becker, Stagger and some of the other guys at the last Newbie Jam had some preliminary discussion already.
There hasn't been one of these in the recent series of Newbie Jams, so I think it would be neat to do for the beginners on the site, or guys who just want to learn about and get into Brookie fishing.
My initial thoughts for potential venues would be:
1. Potter/Tioga - By far the greatest amount of streams, most of which are pretty good, and open land, but a bit of a drive for most. Would probably require an overnight.
2. Poconos - Closer drive, but more posting/access issues. Less streams overall, but still some good ones. Sounds like this was the direction the guys at the last Newbie Jam were thinking, which is cool. Can be done in a day trip for most of the eastern PA guys.
3. State College Area - Gets you close to several potential areas of good streams. Again a bit more of a drive, but more central location for western PA guys. Would also probably require an overnight for most.
But other suggestions are welcome too.
Let's discuss. I'd be happy to lead a group and provide some tips/instruction on both locating these kinds of streams and fishing them. Hopefully a few of the other Brookie regulars may chime in to volunteer too.
