Dry Fly Guy, (Bruce Schneck) has put together a regional
Fish-In for the FAOL folks in the east. Headquarters
will be the Happy Acres Resort and the photo at the
top of the page is the Lodge which Bruce has reserved
for the event. The Lodge is a log structure which
sleeps 16 with two full baths, a fully equipped kitchen,
large dining area and living room with a floor to ceiling
stone fireplace. It also has a wrap around deck which
overlooks the stream.
As of May 16th, there were still two opening at the lodge
itself. However the resort does have other cabins as well
as campsites. You can check Happy Acres out at
www.happyacresresort.net.
Bruce wrote, "A large room in lodge will be great for meetings, tying
or just hanging out if we get much rain. Each day we have
guys familiar with streams within about a 35 mile radius
who will lead groups of anglers to these streams. I cannot
believe we cannot find enough cooperative fish to have a good time."
As with all FAOL events, everyone is cordially invited.
There are no registration fees, (except for lodging). Everyone
is on their own, FAOL does not make reservations or arrangements
for you. You are welcome to come for the whole time, or just a
day. Whatever works for you. Families are welcome as well,
and there are many local attractions.
Pine Creek is a well known trout stream, and is accessed via
the Pine Creek Rail Trail. This National Landmark is owned and
managed by the state of Pennsylvania which has contructed a
magnificent multi-use trail along the old railbed. This is one
of the most spectacular natural areas in Pennsylvania.
Reservations are being taken now. Ask for
Gene Feerar and tell him you are with the Fly Anglers OnLine
group, (there is a discount) 1-570-753-8000.
It's a great time, and an opportunity to make new friends,
and to put faces on names. There has been some rain and
Bruce hopes to have decent fishing.
