Today I was meeting up with my buddy Andrew up in Schuylkill county to fish for some stockies and then ultimately get into some Natives before calling it a day. The idea was to start fishing for stockies first as that water would most likely get higher and dirtier before the spring watershed would within…

SC PA Spillway Troutfecta!
Bows, Browns and Brooks. That pretty much sums up yesterdays trip. I headed up to lower central Pennsylvania early yesterday morning to fish a highly popular and pressured trib(spillway). The lake was drained recently which flooded in an obscene amount of suckers into the tributary. Along with that though did include some big trout that…
More snowiness – with a side of redemption!
I’ll keep this one short. Mainly because it was a long cold days fishing. I actually didn’t even intend to fish today as I expected the next outing to be the weekend, giving the ice and cold water a chance to thaw and warm. I was working on a few projects for my side hobby…
Snowstorm – Round 2, or 3, or something for 2021
I awoke this morning to a lovely 5″ or so of fresh powder covering the ground, with it still coming down here in Southeast PA. Now snow is nothing new, and it sure wont stop me from fishing. In fact, as mentioned before, I prefer it. Snow, Rain – bring it on. The wind and…
Class A & Special regulation love
Since I have the next week off it was time to get some fishing in. It had just rained about half an inch monday night which brought up stream levels considerably. Thats not always a bad thing however. There are some streams where the best thing for it is a good inch of rain to…
Quick Lehigh Co Trip
I called work quits early today. Well, early as far as the average persons day is concerned anyway. As i’m normally on the computer working anytime from 5-6am for the start of my day. It was Friday and pretty dead work wise at this point. So I decided 1PM was a good time to finally…
Simms G3 vs Orvis Pro Waders
I’ve been a Simms believer for ever. But after their latest piss poor customer support experience they can drown in a fishless puddle. I wont go into it as my older post already covers the high level details. But what I will focus on going forward is how well these Orvis Pro waders perform. Durable,…
Calm evening brown trout
I met up with my buddy Nick on a pretty unpressured peice of water, at-least to my knowledge. Even though we saw footprints in the fresh snow covered ground where someone apparently already fished it within the past 2 days. The usual parking locations were plowed up with snow so we had to find an…
Had to get out – Snow!
My last trip i spoke about not getting back out until when some of the DHALO reg streams were getting stocked by the state in the coming weeks. Well I lied. We got a second round of snow on Sunday the 7th. And while I got to fish after the previous snow storm I havent…
Remote Brookie Stream
I attempted to go up to a remote bookie stream on Thursday and fish my way up to the headwaters where I’ve fished before. It would of been a section closer to its mouth and I haven’t accessed it at this location before. I expected there would be fish but my bigger concern was the…
