I am drooling just thinking about it. Maybe going through all the gear "one" more time tonight might ease things up.
Looking at the forecast, i'm considering driving to Pulaski

Headed up this weekend regardless, just cuz unfortunately its my last free weekend for awhile (darn weddins, work, and last bass tourney of the year). Probably some fish around to be caught if you done put the time in, but not enough to be worth it if you have a very long drive. Will give a reasonably honest, yet spot burn free report when I get back.

Why yes, yes I am!
 
10 year old son been's bugging me to go.  He's out of football practice this week with a mild concussion and I had the afternoon free.  Grabbed him outta school early and drove for a few hours to see what we could see.  
 
You can see most of the feesh in Walnut from the stop sign hole up through the chutes to the waterfall, and there ain't many but we had fun anyway and he caught three and fought a couple more.  
 
Lower Elk was pretty murky and I couldn't see much.  Couldn't tell you what's there or not there.  Saw a few fish on stringers, but saw nothing landed in the hour and a half we were there.  Heard one guy was tearin' em up before we got there though.  
 

 
*Apologies for making him wear neoprenes in September, but we're just poor yinzers/mupheres and he grows so fast that buying him 2 pairs of waders just isn't feasible.  Plus, we didn't want to offend anybody at Walnut by both wearing breathables.

Hahaha pretty funny about the waders. Glad he caught some and had fun.
By the background you can see how low the water is, but give it a week and it should be pretty good.

Probably the 5th or 6th time I've ever ventured up this early in September, and it was the lowest I've ever seen Walnut and the least amount of fish I've seen in Walnut at this point in September.  I'm sure there were more on Tuesday, but when there aren't lots of fresh runners the blue rope brigade can thin 'em out pretty quick.   There were a few larger pods of fish in the spots you'd expect, but other guys had 'em surrounded.  
 
I would imagine somebody that's a good jig fishermen, or skilled with stripping streamers on the fly rod, would probably do pretty well in the frog water on lower Elk.  At least it's deep and dark enough to not see the fish.  Between retying from snapped lines on overhanging branches and snags in the water for my son, I didn't get to really try much jigging while we were at Elk.

hey DRod, been selling alot of stuff i'm not using and came across a pair of neoprenes. dont believe they ever leaked but they're years old and probably won't fit your boy for a year or 2 but they're yours if you want them for free.  hate to toss 'em if they're still usable.   let me know and we can hook up on a trib later this fall

My definition of a "good dad" is someone that is willing to pull their kid out of school early and take them fishing.  You sir, are a good dad! Well done and great pic. 

I live with fear every day, and sometimes she lets me go fishing.

ALLLLLLL RIGHTY THENNN!!!!

Here comes the rain followed by a 20+ degree drop in temperature on Monday with improving weather expected for the rest of the week.

If this change in weather doesn't get the chrome critters migrating then some rash measures may be required.

Might need to drop some under water speakers into the lake and start playing rap music. That should make the steelies head up stream.

LOL bet it made ya think!!!!

What is up with the weather????
So far the tribs are almost 2.5 inches behind on rain for September and no rain forecast until Oct 2nd!
Are you kidding me?
Sunny and pleasant all week.... who needs that.

I don't know what to say about the weather but, I do know this blog has been pretty dry the last several days.

Something seems a little 'fishy', me thinks.

There has been plenty of fish available for a few weeks now. Learn how to get em in all conditions and you'll never have to worry about "weather" conditions again.

Re: Is everyone fishing or what? 2014/09/22 17:14:08 (permalink)
I done fished last weekend, and did alright, caught 8, all on streamers....

Here's my low down-

16 mile- Didnt see anyone fishing the stream, some guys fishing the mouth, saw two fish in the lower section, also a tree down in front of the falls. 
 
20 mile- Some very nomadic fish around, also had artificial color on Friday due to tree cutting going up upstream. 
 
Walnut- Good number of fish around up to manchester, but extremely low and clear and skittish, seen few fish caught however.
 
Elk- Some fish up to shale wall, talked to guy fishing near log jam, said he had fished there earlier in day and there was a pile around, but he came back later, and caught nothing. Went down below boat launch, seen nothing caught, but a few fish on stringers, guy going out on boat said they could see a lot. 

Anybody whose good with a jig or streamer, or can drift small flies or bait flawlessly and stealthily may be able to do well. 
 
Oh and not sure of accuracy, but overheard a conversation between two guys saying that the lake level was up for this time of year, thus putting more water into Elk.
