The Editor's CornerBrodhead campground Cranberry Run Campground
With the regular season opener less than a month away many of us are thinkingabout trips to the Brodhead. I love the stream but it is a bit far to drive for a one daytrip. George Cooper shared with me another option, Cranberry Run Campground. This is a private campground just off the road where 191 and 402 intersect. Youcan easily stay the night(s) there and fish Brodhead both early and late. It is prettycold in April, but might be perfect in late May and June

This Months Speaker : DomenickSwentosky: Troutbitten.com blogDomenick Swentosky
A father of two young boys, a husband, author, fly fishing guide and a musician,
Domenick Swentosky fishes for wild brown trout in the cool limestone waters ofCentral Pennsylvania year round. In 2014 Domenick founded the Troutbitten websiteas a creative framework for documenting the things that he’d like to show his sonssomeday: a diary of events, and of things learned on the water. Troutbitten hasgrown into a fly fishing blog full of 300+ stories and technical articles as well asphotography focusing on wild trout and wild places. With a philosophical slant to thestories and an advanced, tactical angle to the techniques section, Troutbitten is apopular destination for fly anglers on the web. And Troutbitten has grown intoa four season Pennsylvania fly fishing guide service. Domenick alsogives presentations on much of this material for clubs and schools.
I follow Domenick's blog and can highly recommend it to club members. Some blogsare tactics, others are fishing philosophy, but all are worth reading. Don Bowers
