I was itching to get out as the weather has been tolerable in the low 40’s recently. And given tomorrows rain that im saving for ideal conditions on a local Class A I decided today would be a good day to explore a new unnamed tributary to the Schuylkill. This also would give my girlfriend…
Month: December 2020
Christmas Class A
There are certain streams that I wont bother fishing unless the levels are right. This is one of those streams. When they stream is anywhere from 70-100CFS it usually fishes amazingly. It also drops particulary fast. After all that rain we got it peaked at 1500 CFS during the day. Come the next morning it…
Montco blue line
Checked out a montco stream today that once had a population of trout, at some time. Not knowing if it still does I decided to give it a shot. There’s only a small section that’s publicly accessible so that’s what I fished. There is a portion that runs to the mouth that I did not…
Blue Mountain Brookies
Had a late start this morning but really wanted to take advantage of the recent snow fall and the scenery it provides in our beautiful PA forests. The mountain was still pretty caked with snow and after seeing an Audi struggle mid turn and turn around I was having second thoughts But my Continental Winter…
10″ of snow in the Lehigh Co
Had a few hours to fish this afternoon so opted to head to Lehigh County. It was pretty warm out with the sun shining despite a recent 10″ snow fall. Treking through snow is pretty tiring while fully geared up. But any fishing trip is worth it. It wasnt overly efficient but i did manage…
Snow snow snow
The day after our first real 2020 snow event. I only had a a short time before dark so staying in my neck of the woods was the best option. I arrived on the stream and just as I expected it was empty. No foot prints in the snow. The stream partially iced over. It…
Lehigh Gorge
In the attempt to take advantage of this weekends good weather I decided to take a hike up into the mountains and check out tributary or two to the Lehigh river. Today was extremely foggy, which is always a treat when driving the turn pike. We arrived at the Gorge and started taking the trail…
Snow Flurries and Icy Guides
Its finally starting to get cold around here in the southeast which to me is a welcomed change. I for one don’t mind the cold, especially when im fishing in it. Theres something different about the silence and numb body parts when youre out alone on a body of water in winter. Today that day…
Rain is your friend
Alot of people don’t realize the benefit of fishing after a good rain. We got 3 inches last night and come morning the SEPA streams were looking mighty fine. This one in particular was up and dirty running at 70CFS. I grabbed my streamer rod and headed out. I used the same streamer all day,…
