The Landing Net by Darl Black

With the exception of the last two weekends with three nice days
back to back, showers and thunderstorms have been the prevalent
weather pattern in NW PA since the first of June. For the most part,
the Allegheny River, French Creek, Oil Creek and Sugar Creek have
been high and muddy for weeks. Flood control impoundments She-
nango River Lake and Woodcock Creek Lake have been high, off-
color and uninviting to anglers. Here’s hoping we have turned the
corner on the rainy weather. We need a break and drying out peri-
od to bring lakes and flowing water down closer to normal summer
levels. If we don’t, the sun will be setting on the summer fishing
season before we know it.
