Probably the same series of tornadoes that tore through Piper in Cleafield County. I remember seeing trees tossed around like twigs when driving to camp.
yep...hit parker dam and ripped the roof off of one of the small camps where boy scouts were using. No one hurt. The swath of the storm looked like a stroke of a nice shave through the forest...everything gone above 12 ft...

I grew up mere miles from Wilhelm. Tamarac was awesome until it had to be drained but it's come back. Fishing / Duck hunting Conneaut Lake is my favorite. Can catch big ole muskey and pike and kill all sorts of divers you'd never see around the other local area lakes.
I fished Tamarac for a couple of hours last May and caught 8 nice largemouth and some huge blue gills from shore on live minnows.
I rented a cabin on Wilhelm for a week in May of this year. That’s my favorite lake.

My favorite memories as a kid are when it rained a lot and the north end of Wilhelm, what we call "the pipes" on cemetery road, would get over and the old road bridge would get flooded and the bass fishing was amazing. That and when the walleye run. Now they opened all that propagation up near there too. Even better.

I’m from Crawford county and will never forget my dad taking me wilhelm when I was 12. Every cast was a blue gill within 30 seconds

Pymatuning musky trolling was a different story
2nd most fun I ever had fishing as a kid was on a boat on Glendale lake and running into a school of blue gill. For a short period of time every cast brought in a fish. Most fun was on the Juniata during a Cicada hatch. Fish were hitting anything that splashed into the water. You think they would have been fat and happy with all the Cicadas they had eaten, but their appetite apparently was never ending. They may not all have been legal to keep but for a young kid it was a blast.

My wife and I keep a camper on a lot at Camp Wilhelm. She enjoys catching bluegills and I fish for bass. I fish the pipes and the propagation area now that it's open. The picture is one of the bass from the propagation area from last summer.

Vega gassed badly. Tagg needed to avoid that mat wrestling and stay on his feet but he didn't.
I must've been watching a different match.
Efejle’s match was from a different world.
  • Bizarro World (Htrae): To escape, Bizarro and "Bizarro-Lois" settled on a cube-shaped planet called Htrae (Earth spelled backwards). They populated this world with other Bizarro versions of characters, where the Bizarro Code stated that it was a crime to do anything well or make anything perfect.

Is the pipes and propagation area above the most northern bridge?

Christian Carroll will need an at large bid to make it to NCAAs. Lost to Mora on the backside.
He's getting in. With 4 at large spots, hard to believe 4 guys will beat him in the selection criteria.

He'll take:
- Quality Wins (20%) -- beat 4 Ghaliali, 8 Mirasola, 15 Lanosga, 19 Mora, 25 Forbes 2x, 28 Rasmussen.
- Coaches Rank (15%) -- he's #7.
- RPI (10%) -- he's #9.

He'll probably take Win % (10%) -- he's at 73.9% after B12s. Historically very few at large candidates >70%.

And he cannot lose H2H (25%) to 4 at large candidates -- the only guys to beat him who have not yet qualified are Feldman, Mullen, and Hopke. (OK, Shilo, but he's ineligible for an at large.)

Is the pipes and propagation area above the most northern bridge?
Yes. The propagation area starts just north of that bridge and runs up to just south of the pipes. The pipes are at the end of Cemetery Road. If you are traveling north on 19 in Sheakleyville, turn right on Cemetery Road at the church and follow it to the end.

Anyone here around for the series of tornadoes that hit western PA in 1985?
Oh yeah, got to see the only F5 in PA history rolling through Wheatland.

It took a little town in a valley and bulldozed it. Top to bottom. Only thing that survived was Wheatland Tube and that was a miracle. VP Bush came the next day.
