I have a function to attend that day as well, its called a date with an 870... your gonna schedule this the second weekend of turkey season on a saturday?

Oh... just saw youre gonna do the 4th, may be able to swing that.



egg sac -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 8:49:22 AM)

Ok guys just started a list (first post page 1)of all that say the will come so far with what they will bring for chow. Need more confirmened items so I can keep the list updated.



jlh42581 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 9:06:04 AM)

That caddis hatch is amazing, i ran into a midge hatch like that the other day, you couldnt even breathe or you were eating them.

Id like to see an outing on a C&R stream, maybe Ill have to organize a SC one.



jlh42581 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 9:07:47 AM)

Ill figure out some way to make it. Count me in for pasta salad. I more then likely will have the lady with me, she likes to fly fish too. Dont ask her to cook though, shes not good with anything that doesnt have precise directions.

This section of Oil Creek we fish is a c&r its the delayed harvest atrificial lure area.



Bughawk -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 9:36:39 AM)

Being a total newbie to fishing Oil creek, what flies would you recommend?  From what I have read, it seems like there is a pretty good tan caddis hatch.  As such, would you recommend tan caddis pupae, nymphs, soft hackles, dries, all of the above....????  I would like to get a jump and start tying a few flies.  Of course, I could bring a nice selection of glo bugs, sucker spawn, tube flies, streamers, and nymphs....  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.



Bughawk -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 9:39:40 AM)

I could bring a veggie and dip platter.   Do you need any beverages????  If so, I could bring some soda or ice tea or sugary flavored colored water...



doubletaper -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 9:54:32 AM)

bughawk & jlh, if the waters clear and sunny out bring 7x tippet if you plan on fishing dries. the trout in the dlh are pretty finicky. the other guys can tell you the specific flies to take, i never fished it around the first of may.    ~dt



fisherofmen376 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 10:21:24 AM)

I will be there, and I will bring some homemade from scratch oatmeal raisin cookies, my wife makes a good batch of em! 
Thanks for nailing down the date.  I can't wait.  [:)]

I never fish 7x... dont even carry it anymore.

Ill have all the flies I always carry, ill figure out something they want. Dries only appeal to me when the fish are rising in masses.



beerman -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 4:24:11 PM)

I'll be there May 4th.  I'll bring pop and water.  Sorry, no alcoholic beverages are permitted by law (State Park).

Here are two maps of Oil Creek State Park:

Anyone driving from southwestern pa that I can get carpool with?  My wife might want the car just in case something happened with our baby girl.  Ill pay some gas money.  PM me if ur interested in meeting up somewhere.  Thanks. 



beerman -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 5:28:24 PM)

My buddy, Dallas, will be there.  He said he will bring paper plates, napkins and plastic silverware.



Skip16503 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 6:01:31 PM)

jlh42581 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 7:24:58 PM)

[:D]...HaHa...I see where you're coming from...I'm having flashbacks of the One Fly...

****I'll bring pigs in a blanket (lil' dogs wrapped in cresent rolls)



egg sac -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 8:26:52 PM)

Once you go across bridge at start of delayed harvest area in petrolium center keep going straight to end of parkintg lot we usualy use last pravilan. If you arive before eating time( and you should for some fishing time)just park and go fish. I know most of the regulars and usualy start rounding everyone up for eats .My girlfriend has done alot of the cooking these past few years and is a great help.. Just make sure you bring a desire to chow down and catch fish.



BugDrifter -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 8:35:40 PM)

I'll be looking forward to this. I can bring some pork Bar B Q and rolls.
. Will there be grills there, or should I throw one in the truck?

egg sac -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 8:47:17 PM)

Don't worry Bug, dano and I will provide you with some dries.



Loopy -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/3/2008 9:02:41 PM)

Ahh...Egg.  What's an Oil Creek outing without egg's famous wings.  One of the only reasons I like to show up....and of course fishing with some great guys as always.  Hope mother nature provides a carbon copy of last years outing.

Egg, put me down for brownies again.
