FYI the mouth of elk has moved...

Launched there 6/28/17 in evening and the mouth was all jammed up with logs.
The water was flowing over peninsula into the lake close to where "The Ole Mouth " I always hear about was.We turned around put boat back on trailer and went to Walnut.
There was a empty trailer in parking lot that was gone at midnight when I went back there out of curiosity.
And while I am typing about it I know its been said before by others but can we take some of the money being spent on Walnut access and improve Elk access its like two different worlds.
Fishing was slow tonight for us just a strange night all around including watching a rod FLY overboard but that's a whole different story.
Be safe out there everyone...WCW

Took em forever to cut up the cluster down below, the logs your talking about will sit there collecting bobbers until the creek moves them.
They need to improve that lower ramp...just a shame.
Meanwhile at Walnut they are spending too much in my opinion.

Steelhead run is canceled this year, fellas, had a dream where the president elect of the steelhead told me there is a temporary ban from them running the creeks this year, and that the log at the mouth is actually them building a wall to keep the lampreys out. 

But look at it this way, there will be a surplus of blue powerbait and weighted trebles

Well took a walk down there today...there was a empty boat trailor in lot but mouth is as shallow as 1 foot on creek side all the way across only about 8 ft wide.
Its a start...at least the precious steelies can get in creek.
So glad they put signs up on walking trail I would have gotten lost...WCW
 

get a Jet boat and run that V
 
 
Problem solved

Looking for a shovel with a long handle...any volunteers?
WCW 

So its worth it?

Great. Will be mup first thing in the morning with the go pro, 5  friends, and a fly box full of mop flies. As per tradition, stop at the Dubois sheetz for a schmuffin, hashbrowns, and coffee, and stop at the Edinboro I79 rest stop to do my business and don my waders. Maybe bring my post digger to the mouth of Elk, and do some excavating. 

Saw someone caught a nice Brown in Walnut this weekend, looks like the run has officially started! There should be a million fish in there by this Friday, maybe I'll drive my boat up the mouth and troll circles in the now-dredged stop sign hole until I snag something with a size 8/0 treble hook from a big stickbait.

BeenThereDoneThat.
Nu-bee here so let me get this straight. Poo your saying green-eggz in a pink thong not, pink-eggz in a green thong?



John I stopped every night, headed east, at Dubois Sheetz. Had to satisfy my fix for hotdog with coleslaw and kraut (3) washed down with a giant rootbeer. Never missed a bid-niz stop at the 245 rest-a-rea in all those years.

Besides those yummy dogs I'd have to say Dubois sure had some ugly fuel attendants...10-4?

Man i just tried one of those hot dogs, you nailed that combo. Definitely a good bite to eat

After putting boat on trailer last night at Walnut I saw a steelie  in creek just up past small ramp...11pm using spotlight...GO GET EM!  WCW
 

Spotlighting!!! You're spotlighting..... uhhh, my bad, you said steelie he hee he, silly me.... thought you was given away my secrete for Walleye.😎

Shame about Elk truly.  Fished there and did well probably 2 or 3 years ago.   Stopped last year and even parking at the red building you had to find a way around to even get down near the mouth.  And now if that recent picture is the "mouth" proper it's gonna be another crap show there...  

Your right it doesn't take much water for Steelhead to move up into but they do need enough to migrate farther . You remember when all the Steelhead were basically stacked by the hundreds in the access area years ago for weeks due to low water conditions ? I'll bet there wasn't a dozen Trout above Rt. 5 on up, but below there were hundreds swimming around. First big rain and they were all scattered.
