Yes I say meet up times on Friday and Saturday mornings-8am at the campground.
Also, my offer still stands if anyone needs a place to crash, my cabin will be open. We also have a big fire pit for camp fires and such. Just putting it out there, since the group is smaller than first anticipated.

Well, It looks pretty favorable for the weather. I initially pictured camped out in a Spring snow squall, creeks blown out, and yet still coming home with mosquito bites! So I am commited at this point to making the trip. Except (Cough) for, I have (Hack) the feeling (wheeze) that I'm burning a sick day in the latter part of the week. (Sneeze) If you're pickin up what I'm layin down?!
Naturally I'll bring the appropriate 80 proof "makes me feel better madicine"
See you guys there!

awesome. Dude it looks like they're calling for rain though while we're there. That wouldn't be bad...we really need it. Could be beneficial to us.

Just talked to Tim Robinsin. Looks like he'll be joining us for Friday. He has to be back for work on Saturday.
We're getting a nice group here! Turkey, Csoult, Wetnet, Sal (and his bro), Tim Robinsin, Jack (probably not but maybe!?), DaveS, my dad and myself.
I still say we have to kidnap Sandfly and get him out w/ us one of the days at least! Speaking of which, I will be visiting his store at 9am on Thursday morning. If anyone else is up around then, that'd be cool to see you there. Otherwise;
8am meet up at the campground on Friday and Saturday, we'll plan Sunday from there.

Yeah but I suspect the rain will be good for the fishing.
If anyone doesn't want to get soaked in tents, let me know. I got room at the cabin (a few hundred yards from the campground)

Wait till you meet my little one bob. She is a card. She loves farm animals so I got a feeling your chickens are going to be chased!
Look forward to this trip. Fishing with MacKenzie is always a joy and I feel blessed I can do it in god's country this weekend with her.

I fished late afternoon early evening yesterday over by Coudersport and it was low, as are all of the streams right now. Hopefully, Saturdays rain brings them up for you, but does not wash you out. If you are fihing prior to the rain I would recommend sticking to the bigger waters.
As for insects I saw some tan caddis, red quills and smaller mayflies, I assume blue quills. Also some yellow sallies and a different small stonefly I could not id, it had a reddish colored body. I
picked up 3 fish on a red quill on top, usually do better where I was fishing, but there were 2 sets of fresh bootprints which is usually a bad sign. Also, saw 3 dead trout which sucks since this was a wild trout stream that does not get stocked.

Almost...stopped at Sylvania to pay our respects to Ruby and eat some meat and potatoes.
Everyone needs to stop at Sandfly's place if they're in the area. Its quite an experience. I believe his first words to my dad went something like this;
"This is the stick I use to beat off bears"-Sandy, while holding up a 12' beaver stick
"Uh, really?"-my dad
"Yeah there's one feeding on a carcass back there."-Sandy
"A fish, or what?"-my dad
"no no no. One of my ex-wives."-Sandy
Hahaha! I was dying, my dad was kind of taken back! Then Sandy says, "Didn't Andy warn you about me!?"
