Pa. Fish In
It is going to happen. It will be in the Pine Creek Valley. Probably at either Petticoat Junction Campground or Happy Acres Campground. We will be taking a trip up either on the 21st or 28th to check with both. Dates will be either June 13 or 14 through 18. Wet Fly Guy, Pafisherman and Big Daddy Rods will be working with me to get it set up. I am posting this to try to get a rough idea of how many might be interested in attending and if they would like it to start on a Tues or Weds and run through Sunday. Please either respond on this site or ship me an e-mail. Not a formal commitment just reply if you feel you might be able to make it. Will be good when talking to campgrounds. Also state preferance for starting either on Tues. or Weds. LadyFisher has been good enough to offer to set up a site for us when we have info squared away. Dates were chosen so as not to conflict with other fish ins or the 4th of July and also to allow fishing those waters while some decent hatches should still be available. Lots of good streams near to both campgrounds, plenty of native streams also. We are going to have one rule for the fish in. "You must have fun". Looking forward to replies and suggestions.

i would go for the petticoat junction site because its better access to the canyon, cedar and slate runs.
also for those that want to rent a room, the Manor Hotel is in slate run (570) 753-8414, just 5 miles from cedar run.
a little article on the area

If you cannot find Slate Run try Waterville, if that does not work try Jersey Shore.

I'll be camping and chasing Largemouth Bass that week so I won't be able to make it but I will be there two weeks earlier and I can at least let you know how it was then.
Here are two links that you all may find valuable:
[url=http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=cedar+run%2C+pa:df20c]Cedar Run Weather[/url:df20c]
[url=http://waterdata.usgs.gov/pa/nwis/uv/?site_no=01548500&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060,00010:d f20c]Pine Creek Water Levels[/url:df20c]
I can tell you this much: Memorial Day Weekend 2005 the water levels were REALLY LOW. The readings were:- *Streamflow - 198 cubic feet per second
*Gage Height - 1.47 feet
In 2004 on the same weekend the readings were:- *Streamflow - 550.96 cubic feet per second
*Gage Height - 2.04 feet
The levels in 2004 were ideal so at least this will give you a reference on what to expect.
Have fun!
