Meck’s supervisor at Penn State thought Meck was crazy when he retired in 1987 after only 25 years with the university. ‘I quit the day I received my retirement health care benefits,’ said Meck, who lives in Pennsylvania Furnace. ‘My vice president asked me, “What are you going to do?” ” Eric Smith profiles author Charles Meck, whose extraordinary knowledge of Pennsylvania hatches and trout techniques led to a second career in writing, for Pennyslvania’s CentreDaily.com. Smith mentions Meck’s new book, Fishing Tandem Flies: Tactics, Techniques, and Rigs to Catch More Trout, coming out in August.
