CAST 2006 is another huge success
Some of my fondest childhood memories are of spending summer mornings fishing with my father on Strawberry. For 29 groups of physically and mentally challenged youth and their companions, the annual C.A.S.T. (Catch A Special Thrill) event creates similar memories for participants and volunteers alike. This year's event was held last Saturday on the Soldier Creek side of Strawberry, and as always those who participated counted their time on the water as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. "Almost all of the kids caught at least one fish," said Valerie Harrison, the event organizer. But of course, catching fish was secondary to the excitement participants felt as they cruised across the glassy smooth water in boats of every shape and size, in search of the sometimes elusive cutthroat and rainbow trout.

Fighting for an immense catch
LOYSBURG, Pa. -- Lurking in the rich, limestone waters of Yellow Creek are some large rainbow and brown trout. How big? "If you go upstream from here to the first pool," guide Dave McMullen told my longtime fishing partner Larry Coburn last week, "you'll find a couple of huge trout and one that's just immense." .
