Trout Tales - April 26, 2021

 Spent the weekend camped with some friends chasing wild fish.  We really better get some rain soon, it looks like early summer flows and it isn't even May yet!  Everyone had a great time and it is always an adventure.  Had some additional excitement with a downed tree and falling off a rock and faceplanting directly into a rock.  Still have no idea how the Costas survived, but they did.  Little dirt, little blood, little bruising, and a little wet, but mostly unscathed.  35lbs of camera gear on your back does a great job of propelling you forward when you slip.  



Even though we knew better, we tried.......DCNR had it sawed up and actually placed the pieces in the adjacent creek for fish structure within 24hrs!







Just a reminder to pick up your trash, and do the lazy people a favor and pick up theirs too.  



The Trillium is in full bloom

More Quills this weekend





Just a friendly reminder to filter your drinking water, no matter how small the stream or how clear it looks.  This was far upstream in a small brook trout stream.

Trout Tales - April 20, 2021

 Spring is finally here and the hatches have started.........but the water is still cold and the top water has been somewhat sporadic.  Things should start picking up in the next couple weeks.  Hopefully we get some rain soon.  I can't believe we are already dealing with low water in April, especially after last year's drought.  Here are a few shots from central PA the last 2 weeks. 

Grannoms!!

Wild Brown that was willing to eat on top.
