Just gonna make a prediction here...
We wont get hit that hard with this latest snow storm, but if we do the weather will warm up, melt ALL the snow before the Jam leaving enough time for the water to warm back up again. Then we'll have great weather for the Jam with multiple spring hatches with tons of dry, emerger, nymph, and streamer fishing for our time on the water.

I like to think this is how it will go...hopefully

Exactly what my psychic hotline said....last year it snowed and was still a great time, but I hope the weather cooperates a bit more this year.

Is there a line up of who's doing what yet?

 

[J55tyger88]

I belive there is in the beginning of this thread. This will be a good time even if there is 37 feet of snow.

JT - When it's coming down so hard you can't see across the Little Lehigh, it's more than snowing......

I checked the list - You are doing it all while the rest of us watch your little girl tie flies

"We wont get hit that hard with this latest snow storm"

So far I'm 1/1. Bring on the blizzard hatches!

Ed, if the weather doesn't break soon, you want me to do a snowshoe demo? LMAO. I'll be showing people how to sit in a running car with the heater on. Geez.

 

[Heritage-Angler]

Long range forecast shows sunny, with a high of 45 degrees.

I'll take that.

 

[JVenezia]

Sounds like perfect weather to learn and have a good time doing it.

 

[laurelrun]

I've been lurking for some time, having just picked up fly fishing again last fall. Looking forward to coming to this event to learn from some grizzled vets of the sport. Also can't wait to cure this cabin fever!

 

[djs12354]

Welcome to the jungle.

You will find a great group of people here , willing to share a tremendous amount of knowledge.

I am so very ready for this event.... My casting has gone to hell.
I cast like THOR throws his hammer....

Hey - I resemble that remark!

Still looking good ...

10-Day Weather Forecast Allentown

56* Cloudy - 10% chance of rain! :-D

 

[GenCon]

I am really looking forward to this. Should be alot of fun. H-A I am ready to do my part. Is there a particular time you would want me there. Should not take me long to get set up. I will be staying for the whole event and doing some fishing.

Are the organizers aware that one-day licenses are not available for purchase on the date of this event? According to the PFBC website 1-day tourist and resident licenses are not valid from March 15 to April 30. I was planning to attend but this rules out the on stream instruction part for me.

 

[Heritage-Angler]

Hi calapp,

The 3 day tourist license is the same price as the 1 day tourist license, and it IS valid in that time frame.

You might want to get a non-resident license to take advantage of the excellent fishing opportunities just over the border.

Just sayin'...... ;-)

BTW - Don't forget the trout stamp.

For the instructors - try to be there at 7:30.

This will give us plenty of time to set up anything we need to.

I'll be there at 7AM, as I have to open the classroom building, get the lights on, etc.

Do you know if there is any Wi-Fi access available?

Uhhh, yes and no. The building that has the router is like 50 yards away. I think we tried it once and it was just too far.

There will be someone from the Wildlands Conservancy there, so we might be able to try again.

Don't count on this working though.....

We used Fox's phone for a mobile hotspot, and that worked last year. Unfortunately, Foxgap can't make it this year.

 

[tmoneysju]

Pcray, I'm in, I must have missed it...I'll find it tomorrow and reply

Got it. I've only got a 1Gb monthly data plan; otherwise I'd be glad to use my phone and also offer it as a mobile hotspot.
