Well it looks as though this website is in a stagnat state with not much new material . I have not been on here since october and it looks the same as then . 1 update I would like to add is the passing of Richard Friebel aka the Frieb at one time Rich was a club icon and acompied Dave Baker on many of his forrays to the poconos as well as the upper delaware he also accompanied Sam as well . He was also my good fishing buddy for many years as we plied our craft all over the comonwealth on upstate trips to slate run ,pottercounty , the broadhead and the bushkill and many other streams and warmwater venues . Rich passed on back in July I did not find out tillOctober via a lawyer who was his executor he informed me that Rich had left me all his outdoor gear including all his fishing equpment as well as an old model 1894 winchester the predicessor of the 30 30 . I sent down 4 of his flyrods to be auctioned off at the christmas party . Only 1 sold Steve Ellis still has 2 more rods and he will bring them to future meetings to try and seel them for reasonabel offers . I also have vests waders afew old heddon reels and extra spools see Steve about the rods and call me about the rest 267 750 9610 . Winter has its grip on centre county and the streams are still very low and I fear bad freeze that will freeze penns creek clear down to the stream bottom thus killing all the nymphs as well as any trout that are trapped inthese areas . If this happens there will be a very large fish kill as well as many thousands of nymphs and invertabrates will also perish pray for heavy rain as the streams are in dier straights . The deer hunting this year was the worst I have ever seen the liberal amont of doe tags has taken its tool on the deer heard as it it is way down . I hunted 60 hrs in archery and saw 3 deer I hunted maybe 30 hrs in the gun season and saw zero deer 1 nice bear on opening day and by the sound of the footsteps I thought it was a deer it walked about 10 yds by my stand a nice yearling bear with a buty of a hide pure black . I also have a new job at Penns vally schools I started in october and am almost done my probatinary period it is agood job and I am glad to have it its only a mile away . Thats all for now Happy newyear to everybody and GOD BLESS Everybody .
Yes, I remember him well. We fished the Brodhead and Upper Delaware together. On the Upper D he showed me the Pigeon Lady Hole. Walk behind her house and down to the River. One spot in the pool was actually dangerous ... you had to pay attention ... as there was a hole there that suddenly dropped into 12-15 feet of water. If you paid attention you could see the color of the deep area being darker than the rest of the pool. But it would easy to step right off into it.
He was a character for sure, but it was fun fishing with him.
Life is good! I started out with nothing and I still have half of it left!
Update overdue
