Valley Creek, Chester County 6/1/10

I had a similar incident with the green jeep guy. I asked how the fishing was and he literally yelled at me and told me to get lost. Guy has some serious problems.

Yeah it was unbelievable. The week after I saw him and all he would do is point upstream and downstream to see which was I was working. I guess "hey which way you moving?" is too much interaction for him.

got to valley yeaterday around 6 and stayed till 8 fish were rising on something. i caught your typical 6 or 7 inch valley creek wild brown had some nice color. #20 bwo should gone smaller but thats the smallest i had. what weight rod do most of you guys fish on valley my 5 weight is way over kill for the most part. im thinking 2.

A 2wt is a toy (a very fun toy), and IMO, has no practical use anywhere. If you want to fish it, it'll work, but it's not optimal anywhere.

I like an 8' 4wt on valley. I fish it an awful lot, and the 4wt is always the most effective rod for me. Your mileage may vary.

I agree with Jay, I like my 7.5 4wt on valley

seems that EVERYONE who fishes valley has had a run in with jeep guy, hilarious! I am unfortunately not exempt from that!

Giantsjim, I haven't been over at valley in weeks, glad to see you have been doing well, nice fish!! Hopefully I'll catch up with you over there soon!

Is the guy an older gentleman with gray hair and kind of tall?

I love my 2wt and find as a pure dry fly rod it is perfect for Valley which I fish more than any other stream. My 7'6" 3wt is my all season Valley rod and at times I wish it were a 7'. 8' is overkill for me at that location.
