Much needed rain does little to raise the rivers

We are in the midst of an extended low water event. It started last summer and has continued until now. Some communities in NEPA are having rainfall defects of up to 6" for the year. The Lackawaxen is down to August levels. The tubes have been running during the daytimes keeping the stream cool. The benefit of a tailwater fishery. Even the past few days of extreme heat having affected to water temps drastically.

As of today 5/28 PPL has not posted next weeks generation schedule. I'm hoping it will be similar to the past couple of weeks. Ending the power run at 5pm give you plenty of time to fish this time of year all the way down to Millers maybe but certainly to the pool at Blooming Grove Creek.

My last several trips to the Lackawaxen have shown little evidence of the popularity the the river has had in years past. At the most only a handful of cars at the usual spots all the way from Molly's down to Zane Grey. In the mid 90's there would have been a car or two at every pool. I makes for easy fishing opportunities but few fellow fisherman to share lies with.
