My only snag with the float plan is that I currently don't own a canoe. I was thinking we could rent one from one of the outfitters up there. There's an outfitter down by Waterville (maybe lower, I have to check) that has shuttle service for canoe rental. I know that from Cedar to the bottom of the Slate Run DHALO is about 6 hrs w/o fishing that time of year, but that is drift time, and with a paddle you could really whittle it down, then stop to fish. I would go so far as to say I am very familiar with this stretch of creek. I know it almost as well as I do my local streams. Both streams enter the creek at fairly lackluster locations, though. Cedar is at a campground(petticoat junction), and Slate is across the creek from a PFBC launch site. It;s still pretty, but I would recommend putting in at one and taking out at the other. The Hotel Manor makes some righteous burgers, so it'll be hard to get me to drift past it, but there's some good fishing to be had below it. Aww man, you got me so exited I'm rambling! I gotta go enjoy the next couple hours between storms. Heading to Clarks. Talk to ya soon.
