We got a few inches last night and the ground is still partially covered

Alot of rain the past few days... although the freeze up taking place may hault runoff, all of the natural flow streams came up and down twice.... how long will 500 last??? Guess we'll see...

Been real busy with no time to catch up with the threads...

3Fan, awesome report buddy!!!!

I'm 6 miles east and a light coating of ice and snow... saw a forecast last night saying 3-5 for tonight... underground says an inch...

That it is

Charlie I do not think it will.  We will be precip free after tonight and any snow that will come  does not have alot of moisture in it anyway.  Plenty more moisture came on Sunday and they still lowered.   Any fishers this weekend will have to really worry about the crowds with the nice weather and low water it could be a recipe for Columbus day like crowds due to the recent run of high water.  Also it is getting to that time that Brookfield will start doing the dance. Let too much water out and not enough for consistent winter flows  $$$$$$   so I think you will see them happy that the res is full and  the in equals the out more or less.   We saw that last spring when they tried to keep it up for last summer, but no one went up to the tug and accounted for that snow.   Dare I say I am starting to raise my threshold for water levels thinking it really was not that bad at 1k this weekend.  I had a place to cross with ease and even though I did not get any hits I know were the fish were.

Heck if it gets them off the river they can come sit on my back porch and go to town.  Have 6 to 8 almost every night.  Will try to get up on Sat, but have not decided where???????  Have 3 spots in mind

Gerry, this is the internet, so I believe everything on it, as it's vetted by pros of all kinds.  It was a YouTube video and  the report was from a bearded ,  fat guy in a red suit. He said to aim about  2 feet behind the blinking red light. It was snowing like a mother wherever he was, so I just assumed lake effect.  I usually see him in the mall after Thanksgiving, so he must get his deer early. Little kids say he's VERY reliable. 
Good hunting. I won't say luck, because like most that  seriously hunt (and fish)  , you make your own.

Was it this guy

I saw this guy up there last weekend, he seemed to know what was going on.  

 
 
 
 
 
 

Float guys can snag just as stealthily as any other... but they are easy to pick from the crowds as they wear full blown cave man gear with bull horned head warmers :):):);)

lol
snaggers....everybody hates snaggers

And there's lots of them out there to hate.

Depends where you fish in Erie.Those little mile creeks and the project water on Walnut have them but when you get away from those areas there are "anglers"and few snaggers.
When I'm out there next week I'll have the fish cop on speed dial.they do respond if they can.

You picked a great day tuna. Wind finally calmed and wasn't as cold this morning like the past few... how'd you do???

Nicey, Nice.   I may meet up with Charlie Saturday to hit at them.  
 
I am (hopefully was)  having some boiler issues that I think I have figured out.  One zone was cutting in and out.   Seemed to be the  power head in the Zone valve that was not working correctly.  Luckily we do not heat our upstairs and I switched them out and it "seems" to be working now

River going up to 900 on Sunday night and some hairy weather coming as well.  This could be end of season for me, my bones don't do well in the cold unless I've got lots of clothes on and I'm watching tip ups!
