Left around 7am and drove to Ohiopyle in torrential rain. Feared that the streams would be blown out bad. Meadow Run was perfect. Just like my cooler. Met up with Josh, Kyle, Tippe and Loomis
Fished Meadow for a couple hours, and the others wanted to go Dunbar. Tippe landed a nice brookie on a bugger, and fishing was slow until I tied onthe magic fly.
We then hopped over to a smaller crick with wild Rainbows
Headed to the campsite. Most wussed out because it was pouring down rain while we were registering our site. By the time we got registered and took the softies back to their cars, the pouring rain petered off to a steady rain. Tippe and I set camp and got a fire going right away knowing we'd need hot coals to do some cooking.

Found some dead stuff along the way.
Bluegill heaven on the 1weight.
Celebratory Domincan Rum
After about an hour of each of us slaying bluegills, it was back to the campsite to get our food cooking. Onions with butter wrapped in foil, ring peppers with hot sauce and butter in foil, camp potatoes wrapped in their foil cocoon, and last but not least, several pounds of lamb meat made into catcher mit sized burgers.
Sizzlin lamb burgers
Eatin was good.
Passed out hard in the tent. Woke up before Tippe and went back to the pond for more bluegill fun.
Broke camp as it started to pour again and headed over to Confluence to have some breakfast at The Sister's Cafe... Go there, it's good.

Went over to the mouth of the Cassleman River. Saw a few pike, had one swipe and miss, and had another break off just after it struck my leech pattern. Definately a place to revisit with heaver leader for those pike. Weather was great by then, but we headed back home around that time, it had been a long weekend.
