July 13 Report.
Fishing the Middle right now is pretty darn good. We fished yesterday with a gentleman from Pittsburgh who could throw a line like nobody's business. He caught the trout slam: catching a nice brown, bow, and brook on various nymphs, streamers, and dries. Sadly though, the elusive Youghiogheny yellow trout managed to elude him. We had one just about to take when a greedy little bow snatched the fly from his waiting maw. He also managed to catch his best PA trout ever, end he fishes places like Penns and the J regularly.
On the downside, water temps on the lower section of the float are getting a bit warm. Morning fishing and the first half of the float were great, but afternoon trouting in anything but highly oxygenated water was pretty slow--dead, in fact. At four in the afternoon and one mile above the take take out we took the water temp--a luke warm 69. So our advice is to fish early or late down there, or pull some big streamers for bass as those temps are conducive to the bass bite.
Bugs on the river right now are the usual summer suspects: Iso's, BWOs, Caddis, crane flies, Yellow Drakes (spotty), and midges. Terrestrials are taking fish as well.
Streamers and nymphs continue to take fish with 2 1/2 to 4 inch patterns working best in streamers and nymphs to match daily bugs will get 'em.
So if you'd like to come looking for your personal best PA trout--give us a call or shoot us an email--we'd be glad to go looking with you.
I'd post a pic of the gentleman's nice brown, but I just got a new mac and can't figure out how to adjust the size yet. You'll have to check the website. www.laurelhighlandsguideservices.com
Have fun,

A little early for warm temps isn't it, even down there? Especially since the summer has been so cool.

On the river again today, temp in Ohiopyle 66 at 5 pm on a cloudy day. Not bad. But you have to consider that the Casselman has been peaking at around 80 each day. That's a big charge of warm water. Add to that all the exposed mid-river rock getting charged by the sun all day and you're going to have warm temps. Any time the discharge gets below 600 this time of year that bottom section of the middle gets a bit sketchy with regard to temps.
It fished really well today until the storms came through--oddly enough. It shut down for about three hours until the sun came out--oddly enough again.
All said and done we had around fourty fish in the boat, with a third of the being bass.

NIAGARA FALLS – Two candidates who have never appeared on the ballot in Niagara County tried to win votes Tuesday in a candidates' forum in the Niagara Falls Public Library.
Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, is running for his fifth term against Michael H. Madigan, a Republican businessman and Tea Party member from Grand Island, to represent the newly drawn 26th Congressional District.
The first question at the forum concerned how much interest the winner actually would have in Niagara Falls, since both candidates are from Erie County.
Madigan said, "I've been going door to door and meeting with my future constituents in this city. I'm not ignoring it." He promised to hold town hall meetings, which he says Higgins doesn't do.
"I have been in Niagara Falls quite frequently, meeting with business leaders," Higgins said. "I can't wait to get my hands on this waterfront right here in Niagara Falls … We're already formulating plans to make this city realize its full potential."
Questioned after the debate, Higgins pointed to Third Street as an example of what Niagara Falls can be.
He said its "cool restaurants and wine bars" should be promoted across the border.
Madigan said improving education is his top priority, because high crime and poor education systems go hand in hand in inner cities.
"It's a civil rights issue. Right now, public education is a pipeline to prison," Madigan said. "For my opponent, it's the waterfront. It's great, but I have something that's more important."
Higgins said, "I believe the strongest America is one we invest in: in education, scientific research and infrastructure … There are other countries that invest more in education that we need to keep pace with."
He said Japan and Europe tried austerity in recent years and succeeded only in lengthening their recessions. He cited China as a more positive example.
"What they're doing is what we ought to be doing, investing in our own economy," Higgins said. "We need to do nation-building at home."
"We're spending our children's money," Madigan said. "We're leaving a country that will not have the same opportunity we had when we were born and raised … We're being irresponsible."
Madigan said the cost of President Obama's health care plan makes it "a monumental weight" on our businesses. He said many jobs will be cut from full time to part time as employers try to avoid paying for mandatory coverage.
He said the role of government "should be limited to what the Constitution of the United States defines."
Higgins said the individual mandate, the requirement to buy health insurance or pay a fine, eliminates "free riders."
He said America ranks low among developed nations in many measures of health care, including 41st in infant mortality and 50th in life expectancy.

Neighborhoods everywhere will be celebrating the 31st annual National Night Out on Tuesday.
Its more than just a parade of police cars or a block party, organizers say. Its about celebrating partnerships fostered between law enforcement and the community.
In Summerville, as in communities across the country, a number of neighborhoods are hosting celebrations to commemorate the event.
The Lakes of Summerville is hosting its fifth annual neighborhood National Night Out event, according to Maggie Adams, who is a volunteer with the neighborhood Crime Watch committee. The idea is to help bring neighbors together and get them information regarding the program and crime prevention in general, she said.
This is the fifth year weve done this, Adams said. I think it has been very successful. I think theres been a big improvement as far as making people aware and of ultimately making our community safer. In fact, the police have said that this is one of the better, safer communities.
Ultimately, its about getting neighbors educated and involved, she said. To that end, the crime watch committee invites any interested residents to attend its meetings, which are held the first Tuesday night of the month at the Lakes Of Summerville clubhouse, she said.
The National Night Out event at the Lakes of Summerville will include hot dogs and hamburgers and games with prizes for children. People attending are asked to bring a side dish; no alcoholic beverages.
This event is designed specifically for our neighborhood, but anyone is welcome to attend, Adams said.
In Kings Grant, neighborhood residents and members of the Kings Grant Pool will be treated to a demonstration from the Dorchester County Sheriffs Office including members of the K-9 unit as well as enjoy vendors, kids activities, and barbecue from Mooses Barbecue.
The White Gables neighborhood is also planning a major neighborhood event, according to neighborhood residents.
Area neighborhoods will probably be visited by a number of sheriffs office vehicles cruising through with lights and sirens on, Dorchester County Sheriff L.C. Knight said.
We like to show a presence get out and be seen and let the communities know we are here, Knight said. I think anything we can do like that is helpful for community relations.
Knight said that DCSOs Citizens Police Academy and Crime Watch programs are two very effective efforts in the fight against crime, as well as very positive community relations builders.
In every community we have organized a crime watch, crime has gone down, Knight said. I think thats helped us a great deal.
According to the National Night Out website, the introduction of National Night Out in 1984 began as an effort to promote involvement in crime prevention activities such as neighborhood watch, police-community partnerships, and neighborhood camaraderie, as well as send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
The first year, 2.5 million Americans took part across 400 communities in 23 states; National Night Out now involves more than 37.8 million people and 16,124 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide, according to the website.

South Shore's three Olympians arrived to the sounds of cheers, horns, whistles and bagpipes Saturday as crowds welcomed the athletes home.
Jamie Anderson, Maddie Bowman and Hannah Teter rode through portions of South Lake Tahoe and Meyers on a fire truck as hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of people congratulated them from the sidelines.
Some residents painted their faces red, white and blue. Others held signs that read "welcome home" or "we are so proud".
As for the athletes, well, they seemed to be glad to be home, too.
"It feels so good to be back here," Anderson said before the parade. "Tahoe's always that space where you kind of get to come back and unwind, settle down, enjoy the beautiful nature, hang out with your family. And, especially this time coming home I've been on the road for so long. So to fly into Reno and see a little welcome home Jamie sign was all time."
The fire truck took the Olympians from South Tahoe High School onto Highway 50, then past the airport and through Meyers. It was supposed to reach Sierra-at-Tahoe Ski Resort about 1:40 p.m. for the celebration to continue, but was delayed about an hour near Echo Summit.
The delay was allegedly caused by a large rock that had fallen and blocked a portion of the roadway.
However, no one seemed to mind at Sierra when the Olympians arrived a little while later. A band played above a crowd that cheered louder than ever, chanting "U.S.A." intermittently as the women made their entrance.
Anderson, Bowman and Teter then took their seats on a stage and were given several honors and awards by a number of city, county and state officials.
Travis Cabral, a South Shore native who retired from the U.S. Ski Team after competing in the 2006 Winter Games, was one of the speakers during the celebration at Sierra.
"These girls are amazing athletes, and I'm so proud of them," Cabral said. "I'm so proud of this community that supports athletes like this."
Anderson and Bowman won Olympic gold medals this year for snowboard slopestyle and freeski halfpipe, respectively. Teter placed fourth in snowboard halfpipe.
All three are sponsored by Sierra and call Meyers their home.
For more coverage of the event, see Wednesday's Tahoe Daily Tribune.

Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
- Rosenthal says the Braves are growing impatient and may pull their offer by Friday when free agency opens up. USA Today says "one team" is demanding a resolution by the 14th (let's take a guess on which team). Rosenthal goes on to say the Padres have sent counter-offers to the Cubs and Braves, although he doesn't think either team will up the ante. In terms of players involved, he mentions Sean Marshall and possibly Josh Vitters.
- Sullivan thinks the Cubs are offering about 4/50 to Dempster right now.
- The Toronto Globe and Mail thinks Dempster is pretty likely to stay a Cub and says he'll take a discount if the Cubs acquire Peavy.
UPDATE: Buster Olney says the Cubs and Padres are trying to get a 3rd team involved and that Josh Vitters might be in play. I'd be surprised if the Cubs dealt Vitters or Samardzija myself, but you never know.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Can we have the old Rich Hill back? A Z, Peavy, Demp, '07 Hill, Lilly rotation would be alright. Of course they won't score any runs in the playoffs, so who gives a shit.
What happens to Harden? I'm sorry, I should know this, but I've tried to think about the Cubs as little as possible the last two months.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Anyone think if Cubs get Dempster and Peavy they will flip Harden for a lefty bat?
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
unless it's a bat of epic proportions then no thanks
I drool over the thought of
That right there is a 110 win season.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
We too drool over the thought of...
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
I would put Lilly ahead of Harden based on durability.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
I just drool a lot, no matter what the occasion.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
I love the idea of getting swept in October by scores of 1-0, 2-0, 1-0.

Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Anyone think there is something to the Padres withdrawing their offer to Hoffman? Like maybe they are getting a potential power arm to try at closer from the Cubs, i.e. Samninja or Ceda? Or someone from the Braves? Or maybe its nothing.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Espn 1000 Bruce Levine is reporting Padres and Braves have "two pieces in place to complete trade," but Cubs still might have a chance.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Thought so too
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
My bad
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
No BP love for Casey Lambert or Mitch Atkins?
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
There isn't anybody on Baseball Prospectus' list or combination thereof that I wouldn't trade for Peavy. Samardzija has the NTC, and Cashner/Flaherty can't be traded until after June 15th or whenever the June draft is held this year.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Lincecum gets the NL CY
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
the Cubs will send back Felix Pie, Sean Marshall and Ryan Theriot.
Oh my... that would be incredible.
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
Interesting. That would seem to seriously conflict with today's rumors about the Braves having pieces in place, but perhaps they ended up asking for too much. I have a bad feeling though this will be akin to the '05 blog from some dude that Furcal signs with the Cubs, only to have him sign with the Dodgers the next day.
Rob, I'm guessing the "please oh please" is more about shedding Theriot than acquiring Peavy? :)
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
"the '05 blog from some dude that Furcal signs with the Cubs"
As long as WSCR George Offman is not reporting it, it could be true.
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
Could be Padres are releasing this to scare Braves into action.
If the Theriot gets traded they better sign Furcal asap. Ronny the Retard for 160 a games will not be pleasant.
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
Would the Cubs trade Theriot if they Greene back in the deal somehow? They'd make a run at Furcal, sure, but Greene would be the back up plan.
Of course, perhaps the deal is "basically" done except for the little detail that Hendry still has to find a third party to get involved to send more pitching to SD.
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
Could it mean Ronny Cedeno at Short? Or maybe Khalil Green is coming this way?
Re: Let's hope Andy's source is right
Lets hope we never see the 'Ronny Cedeno era' as the starting shortstop, Greene has really declined lately but he'd be a way better option than Cedeno.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Realistically we have nothing to offer pitching wise (exception Szamarja or Harden) compared to the Braves. If this deal gets done with pie, marshall and theriot then it's silly not to take it. I wonder if Giles will be in this deal to shed all of their salary...find this third team...what else would we be giving up?
There is no way we are getting rid of Marquis and his 9mil this year if this deal gets done. In all honestly they should let Dempster walk this was his best year by far when you compared it to his past. He's not worth the 12-15 he may get on the open market. If you can get a good deal on Wood then go for it but he's also not worth 12-15 per year.
Marquis or Hill (in my prayers)
Any body have details on Hill in the Venezuela league..he's getting hammered. Don't count on him to do anything.
It should be interesting.
WSCR Terry Boers Ramblings
His source at Cubs-
No chance for Dempster resigning, he wants 5/85
Wood gone also, Tampa very interested
Peavy trade needs third team(duh), Peavy needed because of no Dempster
~grain of salt~
Re: WSCR Terry Boers Ramblings
He probably means no re-signing before Thursday. It'd be stupid for Dempster to rule out the Cubs now.
Re: WSCR Terry Boers Ramblings
The way he was saying it was the Cubs would not pay 5/85 for Dempster, which is what he's supposedy is asking for.
Re: WSCR Terry Boers Ramblings
Yeah, but I doubt any team is going to pony up that kind of cash off one good year as a starter. Maybe his agent is having delusions of Boras. He may ask for that, but I doubt he gets it.
Re: WSCR Terry Boers Ramblings
I agree.
And I can't understand the whole he will take a cut in pay to pitch with Peavy is mind boggling. I mean it's not Bball or Football and that they will be on the field again.
Then again he's Canadian.
Re: WSCR Terry Boers Ramblings
Or just keep Marquis. I'd probably trust him over Samardzija for a year. Never thought I'd say that.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
I'd do the Peavy deal pretty much under any circumstances, Vitters might hurt a little but I'll take a pitcher with Cy Young stuff over a prospect.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Kerry Wood's got Cy Young stuff...
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
that and Peavy actually has won one.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
So Randy Johnson would be better than Peavy?
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
if it was 28 year old Randy Johnson, then yes.
The difference is that Jake Peavy has Cy Young stuff and has one one. Meaning that he's put up the numbers deserving of a Cy Young award and will probably continue to show his Cy Young stuff.
Kerry Wood will not put up Cy Young numbers nor will Randy Johnson.
Why are you trying to pick this nit when you God Damned well what he's trying to say?
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Because I think Peavy is a disaster waiting to happen for whichever team trades for him. You can see the Braves are not willing to discuss their two 'five star prospects' but the Cubs, in theory are. That doesn't make sense.

Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
I've read in a couple places now about maybe Adam Dunn to the Cubs. Can he even play RF? He sure can't play LF worth a damn, but if he has a strong arm (I don't know, does he?), there's no reason he'd be any worse in RF than in LF, right?
He would certainly address the Cubs' age-old need for a LH power bat in the middle of the order. If they signed him, I imagine he would be the heir apparent at 1B once Lee's contract is over.
Final question, this one about Brian Roberts. Would the Orioles at all be interested in Mark DeRosa as part of a Roberts trade? I wonder if the Cubs could put together trade packages for BOTH Peavy and Roberts; I'm not convinced the Cubs have enough quality young players, but maybe DeRosa would help them get it done.
If the Cubs DID somehow acquire Peavy, Roberts and Dunn, I'm buying my World Series tickets right now.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
The Cubs already have two heir apparents for first base in Ramirez and Soriano.
I am not sure about Dunn's arm. He was a college QB, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's playable, though I don't know why the Reds wouldn't have played him in right. The other option would be to move Soriano to right (or center), but his arm is a little short for that.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
ive heard this Dunn/Cubs/RF crap, too.
yes, pinella will play guys in RF who have no business there, but not regularly (thankfully).
dunn can barely play LF and his arm is clunky. hell, he can barely play 1st.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Right field has the fewest plays.
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
but generally requires the best arm.
having said this, Dunn was a college qb. I bet his arm is better that we think
Re: Tuesday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
dunn's arm isn't that bad, but it's not good or accurate. he's also battled off/on soreness with his throwing arm almost yearly.
much like the entire package that is adam dunn he's got an amazing set of tools he applies really oddly.
it makes me wonder how good of a player he could be if he actually liked the game as much as some other players out there. there's more than a few that think dunn could use a clemens meets schilling lockerroom "talk" to get him into the game more.

Phil, do Marquez and Ocampo look like prospects?
It helps when your defense has declared war against the H in WHIP.
Still impressive.
Lackey finishes with a 3.35 ERA. Currently good for 13th in the NL. Not bad for a guy signed to be a #3 starter in a 15-team league.
He is also 6th in WHIP. Pretty amazing: Cubs have the #2, #3, #5 and #6 starters in WHIP.
Completely meaningless game, but Pena striking out Sean the Turd to with the bases loaded was very fun.
Other than one bad game in SD, Pena has been very good. Even with that game, 9.0 IP, 13 K, 0.89 WHIP.
101 wins...most since 1910 (104).
neat. ...or sad. pick one. pick both. 'murica.
Just looked up Grimm's stats -- after a great run, he gave up 2 runs vs. MIL then didn't pitch for 10 days. Don't remember why?
Sean Rodriguez's helmet looks like it's taking a dump
Grimm not doing himself any favors lately re: making the playoff squad. Seems to have lost the feel for his curveball.
j.grimm is literally worse than hitler.
felix pena, your turn.
it's been a while since joe's over-managed a game...it's gotta feel good for him to be back in the saddle making people's scorecards look like their pens blew up.
Fuck a bench spot on the playoff roster, Coghlan is competing to bat cleanup.
barely any...especially for an evening game. place looks 1/2 full at best to start the game.
Listening on the radio. Are there any fans in the stands at all?
"An MRI taken Monday on the right side of Jorge Soler showed no major damage."
rare air though if he can keep it under 2. Sounds like Maddon already made up his mind though and Hendricks seems like the sort that would want to earn it. Guessing he gets a quick hook if he's still under 2 after 5 innings.
Fwiw, he can give up 1 ER in 5 innings (or more) and still be under 2. If he gives up 2 ER, he would need throw 9 IP to keep it under 2. 1 ER in 4 IP would give him an ERA of exactly 2.
In terms of WAR, it's still Scherzer by a lot (6.4), then Cueto (5.6), Lester (5.5), Kershaw (5.5), Roark (5.4), and then Hendricks (5.1)
Boring lineup tonight in terms of guys trying to reach milestones -- no KB (40 HR), Addy (100 RBI) or JHey (can he keep it going?), and Lackey isn't really going for anything, plus the team has already reached 100 wins. I get the "rest" thing, although they will have 4 days off after Sunday, but....bleh.
