I just want to pass along to you some wonderful and very informative articles that have been recently published. These articles can be found in the summer issue of Trout, and the July-August issue of Eastern Fly Fishing. The articles in Trout are about brook trout in southern Appalachia, their struggle from almost extinction to where there now protected and flourishing. A great story and read.
The article in Eastern Fly Fishing is about "Trout Town"...Carlisle Pennsylvania. Written by Henry Ramsay. A very well written and super informative about the land of limestone spring creeks, and the difficult wise trout that inhabit them. I very much enjoyed it.
With the northeast baking, a few words on enjoying it if there is such a thing. I love grilled hot dogs. Some steps to insure you will to. Use charcoal if possible. The best natural casing franks you can buy. Grill them until they split. And just as important as the good quality of frank that you grill so are the rolls. Buy New England style, and toast them first, I like to use a little butter. Then put what ever you like on them and enjoy.
Alan, I purchased that magazine as soon as it hit the newsstand. The reason is obvious because this where I live, I agree that the author was spot on when he describes my home waters and area. I am very proud of what we have to offer fly fisherman visiting our area. As far as the hot dogs that is exactly what I do ,I love New England style rolls, but their isn't to much I don't like about New England and your life style. Thanks for the post on my home waters and the southern Appalachia trout, they are a great conservation victory that is on the rise.

Brad I knew this magazine would be on your short list. It was very well done.
New England is a beautiful area of this United States, as is south east Pennsylvania. I love Lancaster County...great franks made there.
Brk Trt, I echo the hot dogs & the N.E. style rolls. I like my dogs split like yours as well as being charred. I often say I'm going to burn me a couple dogs. Nothing like'em

Phil there's nothing like charred dogs on a Sunday evening, or any evening for that matter. As for those NE styled buns they're great for lobster.
Those hot dogs look very tasty. Stay cool my friend

Mark staying cool is the order of the month. I'm ready for fall.
Those hot dog buns look very much like ones made in a King Arthur Flour pan. Could it be that you also own interest in that company like we we do? Maybe not own interest, but spend huge amounts of money there.

Pete your dad was right. I for one can't wait to see fall arrive.
The hot dogs look great, Alan. Grilled with sauerkraut and mustard, well that is hard to beat. I have a good customer with a branch location in Chambersburg, not far from Carlisle. It is quite far south and fairly flat, but with mountains to the west that must give rise to the Yellow Breeches spring creek that is quite popular there. As one is driving along I-81 it is hard to imagine there would be trout fishing in the vicinity, but there is.

Sam we visited Shenandoah Nat Park a couple of times and drove I-81 through the area of these rivers, and the flat farm lands that are so pronounced it was hard to imagine trout waters in the same places. We are going to SNP again this fall and maybe I might poke around the Letort.
