Penns Creek 5-20 thru 5-22-2024

5/20-23/24
Just on the other side of the Poe Paddy Tunnel. That bench is the only place I could find a cell signal. One bar of 4g.
Saw this bolder field and thought of the rock conditions I met at the Little Juniata Gorge.

Same fish but to get an idea of the true size I took a second shot.
Here is where he was living. Drakes were hanging in the tree on the opposite stream bank. As they dropped into the water the fish would take them.
