Camp Pics, Let's See Em

[theoriginalnickyp]

This time of year always gets me day dreaming about a cabin in the woods with a wood stove and some nearby brookie streams. Any one here lucky enough to have such a place?

Oh just wait til Brad from Potter shares....

Yup, and I host a Fall jam up at my place in Potter every year. Wood stove and all. No trout streams on the property, but only about 100 w/in a 20 minute drive ;-)

But to me, the real benefit is having a table big enough to have all the jammers sit together for big communal meals. Nothing beats "breaking bread" with a bunch of fly fishermen after an all-day fly fishing marathon!

Thanks Squatch, that looks about right.

I'll see if I can find some. Not sure I have any digital ones!

Love the pics sasquatch, now that is my type of camp.

 

[huntfish]

nice little place ya got there sasquatch. we got one sort of like it below 6. gotta love winter flyfishing (even if it feels like spring!)

The cabins I generally make it to are spread around the state in the State Park system.

My primary "camp" is portable and has the benefit that it can be carried on your back.

Ours is a few miles north of Tionesta. Bout the same size as Squatchs and a similar feel inside. Cement block instead of wood. We have plumbing, but it's just rainwater collected from the roof into a cistern. We use it to flush toilets, shower, and wash dishes. But don't drink it. Used to be in the woods, but the 85 tornado took the trees, and we planted grass and keep it mowed, so we have a yard now.

I do my share of tenting too.

Our plumbing is a tapped spring, but we're looking to drill a well w/in the next year or so. The land was bought in the late 40s, cabin finished in 1956 (60th anniversary next year!), and it was built from a 100 year old farm house in Lancaster County that my great uncles and grandfather tore down and moved up to Denton Hill. A lot of history in that place. It's very special to our family, and I like knowing my family has been in them parts longer than most the "residents" haha!

Good stuff, keep them coming. I've been dreaming too.

I have just my house with brookies all around up here, don't need a cabin

This one overlooks Pine Creek down in the canyon at Tiadaghton.

This one overlooks Cedar Run

Out the back door of this camp you'll find Cross Forks Creek

Down the bank from this camp is Little Kettle Creek.

On Pine Creek just above Rexford.

Trout Run is at the bottom of these steps.

I think my house is closer to Brookies then yours is except when your backyard floods! :-D

Here's my family's place on Huntington Creek in Columbia County. Not as many options as Potter, but there are still some brookie streams around. Lots of fish in Fishing Creek too.

I have a portable unit that I move as close as possible to the bathroom. I don't dig holes:

That is to say that I have found, if you have a place to rest your head, then all you need is a car and a valid driver's license. Oh and a cooler and some tubs, a pillow... you, know, some creature comforts.

 

[pete41]

depends on what creatures you are comforting--reel men are satisfied with the back seat of a Renault .[when they were 21].

Some really neat camps here. Nice thread.We stay at a cool old place over in Poe Valley twice a year (May and November). I've been branching out and fishing all over the place the last few years. My "camps" have mostly been motels. I pretty much just stay out all day and come back after dark and crash. I miss the old days of staying at a camp in the big woods for deer hunting.

If all you are doing is sleeping and using the restroom, I would get a nice tent. And set it up near the restroom/shower.
