disappointment

You must be from Erie.........

If vacation means going south of interstate 80 for the week-end

Measuring the distance between two place is done in hours

You often switch from heat to AC and back again in the same day

You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow in a raging blizzard
to get to your favorite steelhead stream without flinching.....

You see people wearing fishing vest and waders at all social events including weddings

Your driving is better in the winter because all the potholes are filled
with snow

Your Idea of creative landscaping is a concrete statue of a steelhead
next to the blue spruce in your yard

That your snow blower has more miles on it than your new 4x4

That you go out fishing out everyday and to bingo on Wednesday nites
for fishing tackle.......

That your 4th of July picnic has been moved iside due to frost

And most of all you actually understand these jokes. and forward them to all of your Erie friends....again this is not to insult anyone just trying
to add some humor and let all the bitterness END....fill free to add your own sayings.................

If you think a snow plow is a mandatory part of every pick-up.

If you think the 4 seasons are: Getting ready for winter, Winter, Still winter and, Boy! is it hot wearing this flannel.

If you laugh at Buffalo because they Really get snow.

If you ever had a mudpuppy for a pet

Want a fur lined jockstrap for Christmas.

Gave someone a down filled padded bra.

Yinz might be from Erie if:
You want to move to Pittsburgh for the warm weather.

Watch the weather channel to see if Bradford Pa or Erie is the coldest spot in the nation

The garbage trucks and school buses have plows.

Laugh at Pittsburg news tells about a severe snow alert with 1" expected.

You need a small snow blower to get to the garage where you keep the big snowblower!

After moving out of the snowbelt you come home to visit and dad has the biggest snowblower Sears sells in the garage.

After leaving the area:
Everytime you hear a lawnmower you look outside to see how much snow there is.

You must be from Erie:
If you think of Pittsburgh as a tropical getaway and dream of visiting Nevill Island.

You might be from Eriez if:

Took new scarf back to store because it was too tight

Fired from pharmacy job for failing to printl labels .... Helllloooo!!!.....bottles won't fit in typewriter!!!

Tried to go water skiing.....couldn't find a lake with a slope.

Lost breast stroke swimming competition.....learned later, the

Got locked out of your car in rain storm.....car swamped because

We are coming!!!If you want us or not!!!!And we will catch fish not to your likeing....
 
 
HERE COMES THE MUPPERS!!!!!

Marty if you are still on comp get me at..
 
fierstjr@yahoo.com
 
so am I

Marty i wish me and you can get together and kick some yuppy****br>  
hurt or not!!!!!
 
I am not a big dog but the last time i looked big dont spell BAD!!!!!
 
 

This music Lightfoot makes me fell good...

It's fairly obvious there are not many fish to be had. Poor richards would be posting reports by now if there was even a small run.
 
Carpin' please lay off the "nectar of the idiots", trust me, you dont need any.

T.T. is right on the money.  There are a few fish around the mouths of the streams, but not a ton and you have to really work for them.  If you are wanting the sitting on the wall and hammering steelies all day type of fishing, you will be disappointed.  If you don't mind sharing the stream with some pretty nice folks and picking up a steelie every now and then, come on up.  Good to all and may your reels be screaming soon.

Everybody chillllllll out.  If it weren't for all the tourists/fisherman visiting and buying Lake Erie stamps, we wouldn't have free launches and near the numbers of steelies being stocked.  Criticize all you want, but the truth of the matter is that we need the dollars!

Tim fisherman seems to catch 3 or more each time hes been up catching 1 makes the 3 hour trip worth it.

Id have to agree with marty, everytime Ive been on the tribs Ive run into a few locals here and there mainly on the days where it was undrivable conditions when I was fishing manchester hole with one guy who told me his wife asked where he was going and he said the manchester hole and she asked if he was crazy.... he said hunny this is gonna be one of the few days I might have that hole to myself... he was pretty close cuz him and I fished and only saw 2 other guys for 6 hours.  thats just 1 of many times i ran into people that were awesome. another time I ran into a guy who was a transplant from johnstown due to schooling and meeting his wife there. amazing what just saying HI to people and asking them how they are doing not if the fish are biting.

the problems Ive had are guys "mupers" or people not from erie and see you catching fish "what are you using, are there anymore there" or my personal favorite sharing a drift with my float and their rooster tail.

truth is most of us bash each other on here to take up our time till the steel come or the eyes and perch are at there best.

I just worked a 16 hour day and had to come on just to see what everyone was saying today, Ill admit Im an addict of the fisherie fourms... obvisously 750+ post means Ive got no life besides work, fishing, and this site.

Im a muper and Im thankful for the great fisheries that erie provides me every year and hopefully for my son and his kids as well.

I would think the same if I had'nt been there myself...
All big fish, mostly 6-9 pounders.
Actually Iv'e never seen so many big fish this early in the season.
whoever is fishing the channel in the morning will be pleasantly surprized. Kwikfish and KO's are the lures of choice.
