Howdy all,
We were up at camp last month, 8th thru the 11th. Fished the LJ at the Barree Access. On the 10th I fished the slow water down from the RR bridge. Water level was good. I could wade into places that I had not gotten into since last year. I was fishing a soft hackle wet fly and on the first cast to a log jam on the far bank a real nice brown hit the fly before it even had time to sink. This thing tail walked like a billfish. I was shocked. It took me a good 5 minutes to bring it to hand. I have a mark on my rod at 16" it was every bit of that and a little more. Nice and fat. This thing had some shoulders on it. I caught one more brown but no where near the size of the first one. Alexandria had a craft show/street fair going on so when I got back to camp I said something to the wife about it and we headed back up to stroll the street and grab some eats. A good day in central PA is was!
