How's this for spot burning?!

So is it Ok to post that I fished at the third yellow triangle on Elk?

That ought to get em up er to Erie an at.

True Mike, its all about the approach and presentation.  Good examples there.

I thought it was short and to the point, but its all getting rather redundant.  You see these topics arising over and over again this time of year when people are antsy about steelhead fishing.  I'm sure these topics of conversation/bickering will soon begin to dissolve as we start spending more time on the water and less time talking about it in here.

Its making me tired

Don't forget about the beav and wax

Harrisburg, PA -- The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission announced today that steelhead are officially on the run in Erie after the heavy rain experienced this week.
The steelhead run is timed perfectly with the launch of the Commission’s new website mapping feature, which allows anglers to locate Lake Erie tributaries to fish for steelhead, download directions to the tributaries, find places to park, and read the local fishing regulations. Check it out at www.fishandboat.com/steelhead. (Click on the yellow triangles for detailed information on fishing destinations and the for help information.)
The Commission stocks over a million juvenile steelhead each year and continually works on improving access to Lake Erie tributaries through property acquisitions and easements using angler funds acquired through the Erie permit and Erie/trout/salmon combo permit. The Commission also makes funds available for property acquisitions and easements through the Erie Access Improvement Grant Program. You can find out more about this program at www.fishandboat.com (click on “Grants” located in the left navigation bar of the home page).
As always, the Commission asks all anglers to leave no trace by picking up all bait containers, discarded line, and any other trash before leaving fishing sites.
The mission of the Fish and Boat Commission is to protect, conserve, and enhance the Commonwealth’s aquatic resources and provide fishing and boating opportunities. For more information about fishing and boating in Pennsylvania, please visit our website at www.fishandboat.com.

Wait until this weekend, I predict it to be quite the madhouse out there....It almost makes you anticipate the cold winter months even more....bring on the cold!

when I was a young Buck in my prime like you, I fished the cold cold weather too.
Now that I'm well past  my prime, the day temps need to be 32 and above to get me out.
I just don't enjoy clearing icy guides, and leader/tippets  encased in a tube if ice

This past prime Buck now looks forward to hunting season and Thanksgiving  to fish.
I've fished Christmas mornings too.

There is one part of winter steelin that really trips my trigger.... fishing in 33* temps and  moderate to heavy, large flake snow falling
Something magical about it to me


..l.T.A.

Huge Snowflakes flying while steely fishing is Freaking Awesome  Much more so when you are all alone

Part of the overall fishing experience is to find the fish yourself in a crease or seam where others have walked by or given up on, and have the satisfaction of pulling a fish or two out of that water. Love to fish, catching is just a bonus.

Bring on winter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love winter!!!!!!!!!!

I'd prefer it to be a little more winter than that, sorta like this. p.s. the gaff was not used, someone else sat it there in case I wanted it. be a man and just reach your hand in there guys, water's not that cold!   I don't think I'd want to live anywhere that it was sunny and 75 all year, gotta have some change/variety duud.
