some pictures from this past weekend

Thanks td, we all had a good time.
and william h, what would you suggest lowering the limit to?
between 2 full days out of 7 of us we kept 2 fish each.

Awesome Pics! looks like your crew had a great time. Nothing wrong with keeping a few Countryboy ENJOY!

Awesome pix man looks like you guys had a real good time.   Probably decent amount of fish in Manchester if the group I saw by the wall a few weeks ago is up there. 
 
Who cares keep them all a limit a day is fine smash em over the head and put em on the rope, they make more of them every year.  Keep whatever you want.  
 
 

Agreed, it's good of you guys to get a disabled fisherman out there to enjoy the great steelhead fishing Erie has to offer.

And also, keep as many fish as you like within the limits of the law. I'm personally a Catch, Photo, and Release guy, but I don't judge people who keep fish. There are plenty stocked every year, and actually, contrary to what some moron may tell you, most of the Erie steelhead population do not come from spawning, but they are mostly stocked. The walleye and seagulls eating stocked smolts will have more of an impact on the steelhead population, than the fish that are kept.

I usually keep one each outing.Actually thats a may be. The rest I release. I'm a single guy I can only eat so many. But I dont think lowering the limit is a good idea. Many of the muppers would stop coming I think if they lowered the limit to one.

Still seems to be no shortage of fisherman because of no fish...WF

thanks all for the comments on the pictures! it was a great weekend and we had a very good time. we take our buddy with us everywhere we go. out on the lake or the creek and even in the woods, if we're going he goes with us.

The main benefits for fisherman would be in fish size as well as shear numbers.

what evidence/studies/data do you have to support that, Bill?
You can't go by steel runs in other parts of the country ..and certainly not of the ocean run steel
 
the Pa fish get beat to death daily .
Not just by the enormous pressure from anglers, but they beat the 'ell out of themselves trying to spawn on sharp shale slivers of gravel .
The life of a PA steelie is a lot tougher and more hazardous compared to bigger water with 1/3 of the pressure .
 
The "smart folks" that make the industry their lives,  tell me 80+% that do make it back to the lake, die in the lake that summer .
It's a rare fish that lives to be a repeat spawner
 
 
..l.T.A.

Nice fish, they would look better alive.

You're the "Five Facts" guy right?  Nuff said.

Countryboy,
Everybody should be so lucky to have such good friends to make and share times like these with.  Thats what it's all about.   Thanks for your original post, it is one of the good ones.
 

Thats what I'M TALKIN ABOUT!!!.....WF

Good to see a buddy get undisabled with his friends. A guy I know is or has come out with a hunting garment for people who are in wheelchairs , his standard outfits are great for sitting long stretches in the rain,cold,football stadiums on harsh days, ect .
