Was up at the oak around the 10th thru the 13th, we knew we were early for the browns and there were only a few in the mix of salmon but couldn't manage to hookup any, want to get back  but its a 230 mile trip each way, so want to make sure the opportunities have improved before we head north. If you don't mind which one do you think is the better choice ?  The Oak or Burt ? Have only fished the Oak but have been to and walked part of Burt from the dam down to the steps for the parking lot. Thanks again and have a good season.

Some small steel-head were caught around me, but not any of size. Did land 3 Browns over 10 lbs. Had to put up with numb fingers,(don't like glove fishing) and limited sight-fishing to get them. Going back on Vets week-end to give it another go. Should be more Browns at that time; I hope.

I also traveled about 230 miles but I loved every minute off it despite the less than stellar "catching". I put in 12 hour shifts and don't regret a second... I will be there next year or sooner for a shot of redemption. Last year we had 60 to 80 fish days with 5 guys. You take the good with the bad. That's fishing.

Status: offline 		looking forward to a report. I am going to guess gin clear and stinky....with some steelies and growns around...but not too heavy

you should get yourelf a decent map and check out some streams to the east and west of there...instead of sitting on the oak the whole 3 days

Status: offline 		Just got back from a couple days in New York, fished Burt.  Fishing was definately not as good as we have seen in past years. Water was low and clear, still quite a few salmon around. Browns seemed to show up in better numbers the second day. The morning bite was good but after 9-10 am, things really shut down. Tough fishing, a few guys fished the dam the second day with little to no success. The tressle seemed to produce the most fish consistently. We did end up with some browns but certainly not the numbers we have enjoyed in the past.  All in all a decent trip, weather held up well.  No snow like around here and temps in the 40's.  Talked to some other guys we ran in to from Ohio that fished Oak for a few days prior to us getting there and did well.  More water there, good luck on your trip.

Status: offline 		I'm back;  Arrived home (Berlin Pa.) on Tues. evening after my 2nd. trip to the Oak. Much better weather this trip; and more Browns than the 1st. Not a huge amount of Browns; but enough to make me yearn for another trip ASAP. A few guys checked other tribs and pretty much had the same advice; stay at the Oak because the others were still a little low and very few fish were seen. It is raining now ; so that is subject to change. Had a few 1st. timers with us and the top keeper (fair hooked) was 13 lb. 4 oz. I had my biggest fish in the net but it was hooked under the chin; probably close to 15 lb. All told it was a great trip and worth the 6 and a half hour drive. In case you haven't heard; the Archery Club is not available to park after Sun. the 16th. because of some work on the road and parking area.The leaves were a pain for a while due to the flow thru the overflow channel on Mon. the 10 th. Cleared off on Tues. Good Luck.
