Fire on the Mountain

"Fire on the mountain
Lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills
And it's waiting for me there"

I hooked up with good friends Mike B, Glen G and his boy Elliott for a couple of days of camping and fishing up at Penns Creek this past weekend. The weather was delightfully autumnal, the stream levels were dropping but still in great shape and a good time was had by all. We had anticipated fishing dry flies over hatching slate drakes, tan caddis and the ensuing rising trout, but upon seeing very few of those insects in the air or on the water we were content to nymph fish the weekend away. The bight sunny skies kept most of the big browns hunkered down for the day but we did manage to take a bevy of small to medium sized browns each day when the sun was off the water. The fish are spread out pretty good throughout the creek after the high water event of 10 days ago. It was one of those golden autumn weekends that takes you back to the days when life was simple and more carefree than it is today. Thanks guys.

Enjoy, and thanks for looking.
