I got a scouting report tonight....... Jack called earlier and said the water should be fine Sunday.... He saw a few bugs coming off and the visibility was about a foot.....
Of course he can be wrong LOL

It appears that Sunday, May 16th is obviously the most popular date to have the outing, so let's go with it. Most usually fish in the morning, then we meet around noon at one of the pavilions beside the creek, once you travel over the steel bridge at Petroleum Center. (Oil Creek State Park)
It time for a roll call of those planning on attending and what you can bring (food, plates, etc.) to the picnic Sunday, May 16th. I will update this list daily.
1) beerman - pop + water
2) Mikastorm - hamburgers
3) tank7791 - chips

Jack and Brandon hooked into some fish today. We hit 3 different cricks.
Suprising thing is we saw fish rising this evening at Petroleum Center in that high flow. (1-2 ft visibility)
Hopefully the creek goes down a bunch tonight.
