I noticed an unusually brown crown to a tree recently and upon further investigation found a pretty heavy Japanese Beetle infestation. Perhaps the heaviest I've seen since I was a kid. Sadly there is no stream or other water next to this but it gets me to thinking I should explore some nearby waters.
I remember hearing tremendous fish tales of the Letort during the heydays of Japanese Beetles in the 70's.
It was also fishing beetles that I had my first really impressive outing flyfishing for trout as a young man. Probably in '83, on the Yellow Breeches.
I haven't been out lately, but here's hoping some of you are doing some good work plopping down a beetle on the water near you.
