At the top of the Stream Reports Page, there is a thread that shows how Dave Kile would like the stream reports to be titled and what format and information they should contain. For your ease of reference, I am reprinting it here:

Please use the following format on the topic line to aid in sorting stream reports. Thank You.

Title: (ie. Stoney Creek, Dauphin County, 06/08/2005)

Please include helpful information for Fly Fishing: weather, water temps & clarity, hatches and other important fishing conditions.

Please keep them to one stream and a fishing report that you have been on for an observation.

It would be helpful if we all try our best to comply with his request. Posting reports is encouraged and I don't wan't to seem ungrateful for your sharing, but I am required by my Moderator's Oath to edit/amend/delete non-conforming posts. Thanks for your understanding.

Jack, if you want to further amend it, "Wiss" = Wissahickon creek.

Maximus,

I was wondering if i saw you there because I was there on saturday morning. Where did you fish on Valley? I fished right below the chesterbrook bridge. I did pretty well on dries.
