Toby Creek.. May 12th =
I spent a couple hours fishing Toby Creek at the "old tressle hole" near Portland Mills this morning. I landed three small Brookies and one fairly nice Brown Trout. I also missed a couple hits, the trout were not hitting hard, just a nibbling feel. I had fun and that's all that is important to me... here's the Brown Trout ....

Glad to hear you had a good time... that is what it is about!
EM and I were there weekend before last exploring the area. Beautiful places to fish up there and we plan to go back. He caught an 18" redhorse sucker while we were checking things out. Looks like that area would be a great place to wet wade when the waters calm down a bit as the summer wears on.

Great area !!! It's always fun to wade the river to cool off, or even to fish with just shorts and sneakers !!! This must be one of those fishes that EM caught.. I hooked one this afternoon on the Clarion at Hallton Canoe Launch and a nice Brook Trout..

Yep, just like that one.... I set a line thinking I'd find a channel cat or two, and ErieMako ended up catching the sucker on it instead, we snapped a bunch of pics of it's fins and other distinguishing marks to figure out exactly what kind it was. There are like 5 types of the redhorse sucker in Pa...

I caught a sucker on a 5 ft St. Croix within the first half hour of trout. It was awesome but dissapointing. It felt like a log, and at first I thought it was a big brown. But it wasnt, neither the less it gave a heck of a fight.

No when I brought it up into the current and saw it I thought it was and then it dove into the deep pole again.

I fished the lower end of Little Toby also on Wednesday the 11th, and caught 3, 2 brookies and a brown. All were in the 10 - 12" range. The water was the best that I have seen it in a while. Unfortuanately I only had about 2 hours to fish and was fishing during the middle of the day so that may have hurt my numbers a little.
I am hoping to get back up there next weekend and fish if the water levels are decent.
