the big blow

yesterday  ...and hopefully enough rain up there for  a big flush of "leaf fish" too
oughta make things good til the ice
 
 
did the north shore get the big blow and rain we got 60 miles south?
 
 
..L.T.A.

Stay away from MillCrick Mall. The shoplifters will steal your tackle. The wind blew hard and long here in Butler County last night.Looks like I need to clean up leaves for the 5th time     

Ain't rilly feeshin at MillCrick Mall - was just funnin' around from another thread a few days ago.  
 
But I am headin mup this afternoon with my boys - the oldest turns 16 Sunday - and taking an overnighter to Erie has been one of his birthday presents since he turned 8.  
 
Prolly gonna have to scratch and claw for fish with this rapid drop in temps and high pressure.  Prolly gonna be a bit dirty on the bigger cricks most of the day tomorrow.  Everyone else should just stay home and I'll report back Sunday and tell yinz if it's worth it or not. 
 
John, be glad to get you some egg sax at Poor Richards though.  You like 'em in orange, white or pink netting?

Good luck. The weather looks OK.

Maybe you need glasses. It's sunny and in the 50's here. That's steelhead weather.
 

Not when I made that post.  It was brutal out there yesterday.  AT 4 pm it was 38*, with 15 to 25 mph winds.    Might be OK for you, but not for this old guy.  Maybe 15 years ago I would go out in that.    I was surprised how nice it turned out this afternoon.  
 

pssst...... sbin 70% chance of snow since 7:00 pm. but nothing since the lightning around here.

Anybody seen some snow yet??



psssssst update: Guess who forgot what today is???

Anyway, still no lake effect snow in my back yard but a recent update of the update explains why no snow for me.... yet.

It appears I live here and not there....

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS, The greatest snow accumulations are
expected in the higher terrain of southern Erie and northern
Crawford Counties. Mainly near a line from Conneautville to
Wattsburg.~ NWS

Man, if anyone crushed 'em on Elk yesterday, they are a much better fisherman than I am.  
 
We rode the Elk Express Struggle Bus, and most everyone else I talked to was getting on board too.  Saw/talked to a couple of fly guys that were doing a little better than the masses.  Water was real dirty till late afternoon, although flows weren't too bad. Really cold too.  I haven't figgered out how to catch 'em well when that's happening.  
 
We looked a few other places and the crowds were so big that my boys both said, "No way.  Let's see what we can scratch out of Elk."  Both of 'em landed one.  I had 3 bites all day.  

 
Cold????    I guess I don't need glasses.  Oh, never mind, I already have glasses.  Glad the boys got one each anyway.  Amazing the change in weather in a week. 
That's Erie, I guess.

How does it go???.......If you don't like the weather in Erie wait a few minutes it will change.

Nope..... it snows in Erie, in the summer time.

I'd tell younz a few more comments about the PennDot road maintenance during winter but I would get a "nasty gram" about my language, from the moderators...... huh Mike? 🙈
