Penns Creek PA. 2/4:
To a quick ride out to Penns Creek today, the 3 hour ride was nothing.
Fished an area Wilson and I by passed last time we were out there, the Catch and Release section Swift Run to Cherry Run, 3.9 miles near Weikert. I hiked in on the Mid-State trail and was fishing by 9am. Great water, clear and a little high. From 9-11 I got NOTHING !! I said to myself, did I just drive 3 hours for nothing, then just after 11 all heck broke loose, like some one flipped a switch. 5+ fish coming out of some holes and a pick just about every where I went. Nothing huge today, most 12 to 14", bigger ones fought down and dirty while small ones shot out of the water doing crazy tail dances.
Was it worth the drive, you betcha !!
