| The Contented Angler Amy & Joe Gablick |
We took a nice camping trip to Cook's Forest State Park to fish the
Clarion River. Although this portion of the river is not angler-friendly,
we found great dry fly fishing nearby. This is a relaxing campground
with spacious sites. If you're an angler then you hate to see "No
Tresspassing" signs. This is an area where you will be amazed when you
don't see a "No Trespassing" sign. I'm not sure what the reason is for
this, but it sure ruins the scenery. Anyway, there is great dry fly fishing
nearby and we stopped counting how many fish were hooked. This is a
big river and actually one of the few where you need a thermometer to
find the fish. I found temperature differences of 10 degrees. On warm
sunny days you will find magnificent canoe hatches within the park.
Looks like fun and I plan to try it someday. The best pair of waders here
is shorts and an old pair of sneekers. Actually, these are the only waders
I know of that don't leak.
