Robert Farmer---Pigs Ear Road turns south from Route 40 at the PA/ MD state line, west of the Keysers Ridge exit on I-68 (Exit 14?). There is a white church with red trim on the corner. Heading west, if you see the sign saying 'Welcome to Pennsylvania,' you've gone too far. Heading east, if you see the sign saying, 'Welcome to Maryland,' you've gone too far. This is a very small creek. I looked at it a couple of days after two huge storms, when most-everything was still high, and Mill Run was too low; I'm guessing that it needs to be caught right at the peak of a really big storm, or when everything is still rising. I'll guess that if Bear Creek is at 4 or 5 feet (@ 1000 - 1600 cfs) and rising, that would be a good time to try to catch it.
