getting a little desperate
So with all this rain, is there anywhere to fish? How are yinz gettin by with his? Everytime i drive over or past a body of water i see chocolate milk. So tired of it. I might have to get the kiddie pool out and go buy some fish at the pet store.

Lousy weather = can't fish = stay home and finish the basement; the only person happy about this weather is my wife.
I thought about floating a dry in the neighbor's aquarium.

i cant wait for some dry weather. But the wind is what has been killing me. I have never seen a windier spring.been fishin anyway and got the kids out today.and did ok not sure though went to keystone and as i was pulling in i thought i saw the stocking truck.anyone else see that? with the amount of people out first day iv been saying about a third. and the way the weather has been when it does break alot of fish left to be caught.so its a good thing 2.The first nice warm weekend its going to b first day all over again.get your spots early.

No rain in the southern part ? Maybe Southeast, but here in the southwest it's nothing but wind and rain.

I went past Indian Creek, Laurel Hill, Jacobs Creeek and a number of small streams on Sunday all of them look great, and actually could use a little more color.

A buddy of mine just caught a 30" 8lb walleye at a local dam.
Try and bait fish the flood plains. There's bound to be something in there.

I got some gills and LM already. Sure it isn't prime time yet, but if you want to fish, there's fish to be caught.

idk either... I'm after a very large stocked brownie right now in some turbulent water. My father actually took the bucket into the section because he if he didn't no one else would.. another shot of that fish caught by my boy Frank Jr. McGotti (he told me he wanted his name on here haha) .. my golden was a tad smaller.. just look at the bend in this body:
