Cathyg, Sorry, not to get back sooner, left several days ago to check out Lackawanna River. Glad to see you onboard. Thank you!
This is what I found, on a limited adventure. Stopped in Taylor Pa. at the One Stop Tackle Shop, Met a wonderful fellow, who I will now call, Pop-Eye the Sailor. Very nice gentleman! Pop said 26 inchers were being caught along the bike, walking trail. So, down the rd. I went, to the parking lot at the bridge. Walked down both sides of stream, Krayfish , was right, could have brought back a tire, a rim, a piece of rusty sink, etc. Did not like it much!
Now, being the Maxima12, I stopped at the sewer plant and met another, wonderful Taylor pa. citizen. Wow, our talks ended with me giving up a dozen or more leaders. A very large handful of leaders, never counted but some people will be happy!
Off to Peckville I went! The Giant Plaza, before the Giant Anchor, I went! Parked car by railroad tracks in back of plaza, walked back, took a right and started where an old railroad bridge had collapsed!
Never put my pole together, Worked my way upstream, in the Valley of Evermore, Fighting all the rocks, all the way! Looking, seeing the beauty, checking the holes, "very nice", for old Joe! No trash here! Clean, no boot prints, no cans, no signs of man, only sign of beaver and coons! No more here for me, I am too old for this trip at this spot again. A young mans fantasy and a old mans memory!
Forget those little sulphurs, tricos, skimpy flys here. Meat and potatoes all the way. I would fish a small mouse pattern here! Only problem, at dusk! But getting out at night, I can see trouble! If young again, I would use innertube! But it is always better down the line!
Hats off to all the fine people of Taylor and Peckville. No fish, no problem, more to fishing than fish. The experience, the joy, the adventure, the rush, the old desire!
Now, as with any Maxima12 post, I would recommend, Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson when reading!
