I think it's the illegal Amish Muslims' that are responsible.

Let's try this again.
The PF&BC is stocking the SAME size smolts, at the SAME time as always. And in the same general numbers +/= 5% or so.
THe one difference there might be ( and I'm not sure this is the case ). Is when they collect the eggs. Are they taking more from late runners, as opposed to early runners. If this were the case, it might result in the "runs" being spread out more evenly thru the season. Rather than a few very large runs early.
And again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again!

okay so this is just my opinion. i am not an expert steelheader by any means but i catch fish. i like to watch what the guys who catch them consistantly are doing and i ask them questions, more often than not ppl are willing to share some information. and i am not afraid to walk, i dont need to fish the manchester hole with everyone and their second cousin. walking as everyone has said is an enjoyable experience, and its great to be out. if you put some time in walking you may find you will catch more fish than trying to catch the fish who are shell shocked frome spitshots and spoons hitting them all day. Now i have not caught fish everytime but i will never say it is a wasted trip or whine about the drive from pittsburgh to come home empty handed, THATS WHY IT IS CALLED FISHING AND NOT CATCHING!
REMEMBER HOW MUCH FUN YOUR FIRST BIG ONE WAS. TAKE A KID FISHING

Just so everyone knows......If the "gas drilling" in North East becomes a reality then there will never be any more steelhead,suckers and smallie runs ever again in 20 mile crick.
Check the other thread that chrisrowboat posted. The numbers in 20 mile will never be in question again since there will never be another run if gas drilling happens in and around the North East area.

The East side of 20 Mile definetly had more fish than the West side of 20 Mile, but I found the most fish were concentrated in the ENE section. This can be simply explained by the directional 5 degree shift of the spinning of the earth on it's axis during the atumnal equinox. I should also note that 100% of fish hooked were hooked in the lower left corner of the mouth which is consistant with the above facts.
Do rely on this info for planning trips because it could change at any time. PM me for up to date reports.
Glen, I know you know you stuff, but I think it was a 6 degree shift and concentrated in the WNW section. Just say'n! 
My Wife said, if I go fish'n one more time, she'll leave me! God, I'm going to miss her!
