Fishing Creek, Centre Co.
I wandered over to Fishing Creek today after the roads were cleared from the overnight snow. To my amazement, there were still several new accidents on Rt. 80 at 11 A.M.
Started off the day trying three new patterns. After 30 minutes I finally took a hit and brought a small brown to the net. I immediately substituted two of the experimental flies with HE and PT nymphs and began to pick up fish regularly. After 2 hours I decided to try a new area and relocated further upstream. It wasn't a good choice. Fished about a quarter mile of water before I found any fish. But after that, it was marginal.
No fish pics, but enjoy some scenery.

Re: Fishing Creek, Centre Co.
just curious, how do you get the pics of the water like that?
Re: Fishing Creek, Centre Co.
Kyle,
I am no expert at all but I remember someone telling me that a slow shutter speed creates that effect. I am sure that Mike can elaborate on this topic. I love those types of pictures where the water is blurry like those.

Kyle, I am still new to this fancy camera stuff, but will try to elaborate. lol
Aaron is right. A slow shutter speed will create a blurred effect on any object that is moving. Like the pics above... or if you were to take a picture of a busy highway all you would see are streaks of light.
In simple, not very intelligent terms (on my part), shutter speed is virtually how long it takes to take a picture.... From the time you push the button until the camera actually takes the picture. A Slow Shutter speed would be 5 seconds, a fast Shutter Speed would be 1/800 of a second.
The longer the delay (the slower the shutter speed), the more blurred an object will become.
However, aperture also comes into play. Aperture (in a non intelligant explanation again) is the size of the hole inside the camera that allows light in. A large aperture (hole), lets more light in quickly. A small aperture only allows a little light in. Sunny Days require a Small Aperture (so not too much light is left in and the pictures turn out white.) Dark Days require a large aperture so more light can be left in to take the picture without it being too dark.
A slow shutter speed with a large aperture on a bright day will make your pictures completely white because too much light is left in. Therefore, to get the same results of blurriness, you need to use a smaller aperture so less light can get in. There are alot more settings that can be manipulated to obtain your goal, but it's hard enough for me to explain this simple stuff. :o
Luckily, point and shoot cameras take care of all these settings for you to take good pictures. And at times, I wish I still had one. Because most fish we catch are released too quickly to get all of the settings PERFECT for a great picture.
You may want to look at your camera's settings, though. It may allow you to make a slower shutter speed to get the blurriness seen above. But then a Tri-Pod or sturdy camera position is needed so the stationary objects (trees, rocks, bushes) do not appear blurry from the camera shaking.

Nice pics. Good to see BFC with some flow.
I hope to either be there or on a south central PA limestoner this weekend.
