CUZ CHUCK

Cuz Chuck trying his luck at a promising hole on Potato Creek.

LUNKER PALAMINOS

The Allegheny was kind by  letting me  hook and land these two.
 16 1/2, and 18 1/2in. Palaminos

ALLEGHENY RIVER SUCCESS

Cuz Chuck G, Tom G. and myself had a great
morning fishing the Allegheny River on our last full day at camp.

SPOTTED SALAMANDER

This impressive amphibian was hanging around the well house when my cousin spotted him.
I thought it was going to be some rare specie with an exotic name.
I found out its called a Spotted Salamander, who would have thunk?
They are fairly common and live over 30 years living on insects and worms.
This one was an impressive 8 inches long.

OFF TO A GOOD START

Joe M. and John A. headed up to camp Wed. the 24th and started the day out on the right foot.
Joe landed this 16 in. Brook Trout on Potato Creek to start their morning fish.
Nice job guys !! From what I heard so far, fishing has been great.

NICE CATCH

Early in the week fishing was tough because of the high and discolored water,
but it definitively improved as the week progressed.
Here are 3 of the five that I caught one day during the week.
one 15 1/2in.  Brookie, a 16 1/2in. Brookie and a 16 1/2in. Brown Trout.
Thanks to the Warrener brothers for helping me to land 2 of them.

WORKING UP AN APETITE

We had a good showing for the opening day Wing-Nite. 
It started to rain so we all ended up in side camp to enjoy the spread.
135 wings, a pile of fries, macaroni salad, and multiple deserts were dealt out.
Doug and I worked together to come up with a garlic butter parmigian wing  recipe
that was a big hit, along with the standard seasoned wings.
If we can only remember the recipe for the next time.
