Does anyone intend on doing any sampling of these creeks this season? I acquired tables listing fish species occurrence for the Little Lehigh Creek, Jordan Creek and Perkiomen Creek. PM me if your interested in a copy. Im suprised in whats available in the waters I've frequented but never discovered.

You can count me in. That's not close but not too far from me. It's about an hour and a half drive to Allentown for me but it's a not a direct route until I hit 78.

I'd possibly be interested as I am just west of Lancaster. Do you know if redfin pickerel are present?

That is an impressive list of fish! Do you have plans to go again any time soon?

Depends on the weather, I'll be available on wednesdays 10am-3pm on 6/6 & 6/27 to survey the lil lehigh & jordan. I wanted to collect some scud for food while Im out.

I really wish I could make it one of those days Scott. Hopefully we can get a trip together later in the summer

I might be able to make it on 6/27. I'll let you know when I know for sure.

Cool. Ohh & the pair of Sewelia lineolata I got back in February are doing great.

Im looking forward to sampling on the 27th. My photo tank my wife said she'd broken turned up the other week in a yard sale box. Cant wait to dust off the camera.

Wish I could go Scott but the 27th will be the first full day of vacation at Lake Champlain and I intend to fish until I drop(maybe even literally).

I wish you luck. I went fishing on a weekend trip once as a boy after earning the spot by impressing one of the neighbors. He took me & one of his friends (I was the only kid) up to some campground. Mike brought his own boat. It rained the whole weekend and we still had a blast. We couldnt find a spot where we couldnt catch something. Pike, yellow perch, white perch, drum, walleye... It was amazing. wish I knew where it was we drove to. I'd go back with the family. There were a few hook ups that had to be monster muskie that we never saw. Just doubled over rods that you could feel something was on it but would break off after a few minutes of fighting.

The 27th is still looking good for me, too, but that is subject to change as my work situation dictates.

Thanks Scott, the weather forecast is for rain but we'll still be fishing. I found this rental online after doing a web search for lakefront rentals. the islands out in the middle of the lake are a great place to go. If you have a camper or can borrow one google Goosepoint campground I stayed there a few times and they have some nice big floating docks that are great for hanging out on. For cottages with a dock and boat rental Holiday Harbor is a great place.

Im still going wednesday but have to go in the afternoon to take my mom to an appointment. Sorry last minute.

No problem. Where and when do you want to meet?
Mark

How about 9am at the cvs at 4th & emmaus avenue in Allentown. Its just down the hill from the summit lawn exit # 59 on route 78. The address is 314 w emmaus ave. allentown pa 18103.

I thought you wanted to meet in the afternoon based on your previous post. I can't get there that early. Will pm you my phone number.

My mother has an afternoon doctors appointment I have to take her to. I was informed at the last minute since her ride backed out. She's 72 & has diabetic neuropathy. I had hoped to sample from 10-3. But now I have to get her by 1pm. Sorry about that.

What did you catch?
