Roaring River

[Troutgod1]

I read they were stocking the lower R.R. yesterday, so I went down about 3 yesterday afternoon

to the area above the Muncy Cemetary.

I walked upstream and found a nice big bend in the river, and it had several rainbows holding

at the tail of the pool, caught 3 of them on a conehead olive woolybugger, I used this

fly because I had read it was a good fly for fishing this area, and it worked well, I walked

another 200 yds or so up stream and found another nice looking area, and it also had a few fish,

I tried the Olive conehead and it worked again, I landed 2 in that hole and had 2 more hit, that

got away, but it was a nice afternoon, it was getting dark and colder so I headed in, at the truck

I found a few guys fishing in the river and they had maybe 6 fish between them on stringers and

they were fishing jigs and I think powerbait, they were going to go home and have a trout dinner.

Oh well the river is in great shape and I can't wait for opening morning, march 1st is always a

good time, not really the best fishing day, I will fish, but I see lots of fisherman I know and

I really just like to watch for entertainments sake, you'll see a lot of things happen on march 1st

that might not happen again for the rest of the year. I talked to Kevin at the hatchery and they

stocked another 100 lunkers and 4000 more stocker sized trout in the river, that is a lot of trout.

That's a beautiful part of the river. I'd do anything to own some land right through there. Anyone know who owns that place right up the hill from the cemetery?

The Balls I believe. If you mean East of the cemetery. Everybody around there is either a Ball, Prier, Tucker or Haddock. My wife's family (Tuckers) settled that area in the 1800's. Her great, great grandfather (James Tucker) is buried in Muncy. Sure wish we still had "family" property down there!
