Overall, compared to Colorado, you will find that MOST of our wild trout streams tend to be very small. Bigger rivers get a little on the warm side and get stocked in the spring, and are generally smallmouth bass in the summer.
We do, however, have a ridiculous amount of those smaller waters. Even if it's mostly small streams, the miles of water available in PA is astounding. And there are exceptions to those rules. Limestoners and tailwaters, in particular, can be larger and still have wild trout.

Fox, I'm referring to the brush up that was late April or early May of last year. You were helping me with my casting and gave me an elk hair caddis to use on the water because I did not have any dry flies in my box. You seemed impressed with my 20 yr old 7' 4wt Penn rod. Stagger and djs were there also.

You happen to be very close to a lot of great freestone trout streams. PM me if you want a point in the right direction. Some day I would like to live near Ralston if the gas drillers don't screw it up. I always imagined myself retiring to one of the houses on pleasant stream road. Have you explored Rock Run at all? Prettiest creek in PA.

RC and Stag, I assume we'll be doing the bush-up again but I'll let H-A say for sure. I's just hired helps!

Not so. You're every bit as involved with any Newbie event I come up with as I am. I'm not the least bit offended if you come up with something on your own, and I'd gladly help if I can. These events are all about the Newbies - not about us. This is why I recruit people like yourself, pcray, FrequentTyer, Dog, Swattie, FGSIII, etc. I know you guys will put the interests of the Newbies at the forefront. Sharing knowledge, meeting fellow forum members, making new friends and fishing buddies, and building camaraderie amongst our fellow PAFF members old and new are the foundation of these events. They are intended to support what PAFF is all about, and with dkile's approval, they'll continue.

When the date gets ironed out for the Fish and Chips event, I'll load up the grill and links! Might even get Joy to come along!

Welcome to Pa. and Paff Chris good to have you here. Of the many things that go on through this great site the Spring Jam is comming in a couple of months it's in the fly fishing events section. Lots of fishing, eating, drinking, bsing, and camping. Did I mention fishing? It's a great time... to fish.

Rock Run and Stony Fork should make a CO boy feel a little closer to home.
