Almost time for pellethead season. Anyone take any youth out and slay a few?

Had a fantastic time with my 11 year old son and some different friends throughout the day Saturday.  He only caught 52 though, down from 73 last year.  All on his new 3 wt fly rod.  
 
Sent 'em all back for the grown ups next Saturday.  Will definitely be a good day to fish for something besides trout.  

That’s awesome. I worked the first day so my five year old daughters stayed home with mom. They’ll be going out Sunday with me.

was the number of guys out yesterday way down from previous years where you fished yesterday ?
 
on the river that is usually packed only maybe 6 boats out . water was up but fishable 

Caught a bunch last Saturday in the rain when nobody else was out. Went out today for 2 hours and caught about a dozen trout with 4 rainbows over 15". Saw practically nobody else today. If you don't like fishing in the snow, wind, and rain do you even like fishing?

We did our yearly get together at Papermill Bridge. Same crew going on 30 years now. I felt really old. Saw some of the "kids" with their own kids. I guess 1997 wasn't 10 years ago. Lol. Everyone caught fish and I didn't see many smaller than 10" with a buncha 15+s landed. Good for the State for stocking mostly "nice" ones. Hope everyone had a good time.

Fished Deer Creek Saturday and this morning, the bite was ok. 

Good thing the Opener was last weekend and not this one coming up. Everything here in Lawrence Co is blown blown aht! They just stocked the Neshannock yesterday. Those fish are holding on for dear life I'd guess. 😆

How about this forecast for next week?

I want to start taking a few days vacay here and there to go after crappie (tired of having to take almost the whole month of Dec. off if I shoot a deer early in archery) but not burning a day to fish in this weather....
 
Still need to take the boat out of mothballs and remove all the kids sports gear off it...and probably need at least 2 new batteries....  Haven't been to Greenlick in years and I can hear it calling my name...

You can pretty much tell, just from the forecast what day it is.
 
45 rain/snow and 20mph wind = typical weekend day.
 
72 mostly sunny and light wind = every other week day...
 
It is like God is telling us to skip work.  Or in my case, schedule some meetings near the beach, since the stripers are running...  Don't worry, I will likely schedule my free time for the "you should have been here yesterday" time slot.  It usually seems better in my mind than reality.  Although I figured out a few nice patterns the last few times out.  Usually end up with a few shorties, which are average size Arthur byrds.
