Site Editor Royse City, TXPosts: 1350 | Hi Jason-I'm not sure what the caddisflies in this tight cluster are doing, but I'd guess it has something to do with mating. They scooted all around the rock, with some flies leaving the cluster and new ones coming all the time. Unless I'm mistaken, the scientific term for this is cluster****. Sorry Lewis, but I simply couldn't resist Jason's cleverly baited hook. :-) | |

York & Starlight PA Posts: 2733 | Jason, "Some of them are from what I've heard called "Power-Line Pool," which I'd guess is the same thing." Yes, that's it! I used to park my 1969 VW Campmobile either at the upper end or down near the flat water pool and stay there all weekend. I'll look at some of my scanned prints to see if I have any from the "olden days" of my youth. | |

York & Starlight PA Posts: 2733 | Great pictures! The ones of the bridge are behind Harry Darbee's house. I've fished there many times. The fish always hang on the left side as there is deeper water there. Down stream by the old abutment used to be tons of stocked browns. I couple of the other pictures look like they were taken at what we used to call "The Power Enclosure". About three miles upstream from the bridge pictures and just below the beginning of the No-Kill water. Am I right? I've caught some of the few rainbows I've ever caught on the Willow in that riffle. | |
