If you discover this secret of staying forever young, as I have, you must *swear* not to tell the other roffians.

What bothers me at times is that I still get carded for buying a can of chew sometimes. You only have to be 18 to buy chew and the people selling the chew are a lot younger than I, but for some reason they think I am the younger one! WTF?!?!?! I wish my body felt as young as I look…. Bone spurs in the neck, hands and lower arms that go numb, a freaking vertebrae that has decided to slip due to an old injury which can’t be put back in place by a freaking chiropractor (says it will take surgery or a life of pain to deal with).

Question:
Lots of good fishing on Bushkill Creek, but Ressica Falls is extra-special. Actually, there are a lot of Big and Little Bushkill Creeks in Pennsylvania; Ressica Falls is near 611 & 402. Ressica Falls is owned by the Liberty Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and a permit is required to fish there. Way worth it. The stream is as pretty as any you’ll find, the water as suited for trout as you could like, and the water is so well-stocked with nice trout that first time visitors are likely to be flabbergasted. Hatches are common in spring and summer, and can be quite abundant. Imagine standing in hemlock lined pool, fishing a riffle, with ten trout rising noisily all around you. Now imagine miles of stream just like that. Now imagine you’ve just hooked a 14" brown, and boy is he pissed. That’s Ressica Falls. Wednesday evening was quite warm. Once again, forgot to check the water temp, but was comfy while wading wet, until my pipe started rattling in my teeth, and I started shaking violently as soon as I stepped out to go home. ’Bout 55 degrees? Quill Gordon duns and spinners, as well as grannoms were out and about. a tan-colored fly was also laying eggs on the water, but I wasn’t able to get a good look. The trout were taking small brown imitations, quill gordens, henrysville, etc. As it got dark and I was forced to switch to lighter colored flies, hits became tougher to get. Also out in profusion were buffalo gnats. These are like the no-see-ums of the North, except that you can see them. In fact, you can rope ‘em and ride ‘em. You usually won’t get bitten by one; you’ll get bitten by 5 or 6. As a repellent, I recommend a burly pipe tobacco, as they are quite aggressive. The stream bed is rocky, with numerous pools and riffles, and it’s full of brookies, browns , and rainbows. Careful wading is important. The scenery is beautiful, and the entire experience is more than worth the modest permit fee. Two words of caution: first, pesky bears. Bothersome bears occasionally hassle folks in this area. Just don’t be afraid of them. Bears can smell fear, you know. Don’t poke them with a stick either; they really don’t like that, take my word for it. Chiggers – very common here. Any exposed skin can become home to those cuddly little burrowing mites, and I’ve got a red dot on the side of my knee to prove it. Jeez, I feel bad that I forgot to get the water temp for you. I’ll go back up this evening & do it right this time. That is, if I don’t forgot again, what with the trout rising all around me, bitey gnats nipping at my ears, tobacco fog all around my head, snarly bears trying to get my attention, minimites digging holes through me like a swiss cheese, and me with the wrong fly all tangled up around the tip of my rod.

Why on earth would anyone want a recorded Loon call? I spent more weekends than I care to remember in the BWCA as a kid with my Dad getting eaten alive by blackflies, having to endure the never-ending Loon calls. Oh the Loons were pretty cool for the first couple seasons, but after One swam by our tent one night, and cut loose about 30 feet from it. That’ll turn you off to Loons in a real hurry, believe you me. Right up there with seagulls (read: skyrats), Gray Jays, and whip-poor-wills. BTW: I NEVER liked the Blackflies. </chaz

Question:
Anyone know what kind of fishing there is in the Ann Arbor, MI area? Are there any decent spots (trout, smallmouth, walleye, pike, muskie) withing a short driving distance? Thanks in advance for any info. — Paul
Paul: You might check out MacGregor’s Orvis Shop on Main Street in Ann Arbor. They are fine folks who are willing to show you locations on the Huron (some of which are just north of the U of Mich campus) to fish for smallmouth. I’m sorry I don’t have their phone number handy… In addition, the Michigan DNR plants trout the last weekend of March on the Huron twenty minutes from Ann Arbor in Proud Lake Recreation area. From that time until the trout opener it’s fly’s only C&R. For details call the Proud Lake DNR at 810.685.2433… Jim

Hi Paul- The Huron River runs through Ann Arbor and it is a decent smallmouth river. The closest real trout streams are 3 hours away (The Au Sable, Manistee to the north, The Rogue, Muskegon, White, Pere Marquette, etc are West to North west of Ann Arbor). There are a number of lakes near Ann Arbor with fish in them, but I am not a lake fisherman so I can’t advise you on walleye, pike, and muskie. Good Luck!

Asking the usual question…looking for suggestions for best fly fishing in the general area of Lava Hot Springs in southern Idaho. Appreciate it. I might like to leave the family in the pool and seek my own kind of adventure for a day. P. Bowers

Check out the upper Portneuf River above Lava Hot Springs. This river used to be pretty darn good, went downhill, and has recently undergone some stream improvement. Ask for local directions to the old highway (not the one over Fish Creek Summit). Try the area up around Pebble Creek. Regards, George O. Jacox Boise, ID City of Trees

P.S. Watch out for African lions. <bg Unfortunately, it’s too long a story to reproduce here. Ask one of the locals and you’ll get an earful. Enjoy yourself on the Portneuf. That’s the river I learned to flyfish on, many moons ago. Regards, George O. Jacox Boise, ID City of Trees

Upper Portneuf can be good. Kelly-Toponce area is best. Several access points along Rte 30 north of Lava. Downstream toward McCammon where the big bridge crosses the river there is an irrigation diversion, some swampy spots and several channels. Some decent browns there but very difficult to get to. You might also try tubing Chesterfield Reservoir (on upper Portneuf) or 24-Mile Reservoir. Both can be very good. Next few weeks might be tough though. The algae comes up off the bottom in big clumps a couple feet across and inches thick and clog the surface. It’s about that time. Should sink again or break up by mid-Sep. Another place you might consider that’s fairly close is the upper Blackfoot River. See the article in October Western Flyfishing mag. I was there last weekend. Lots of cutts, but mostly small. Still fun though. If you’re in Pocatello, stop at Jimmy’s All Seasons Angler and find out what’s what. There are a bunch of other reservoirs in the area that are pretty good. Luck & Tight Lines!
