Atte thank you and Mopars is right on the money with Fergies. The store does close at 5:00 PM but will be changing hours once the camping season kicks in after Memorial Day. Good luck. Mopars you got it right about the Holiday traffic buddy, sounds like a good weekend to stay away from the lakes and head to a good stream and do some fly fishing for trout. Shouldn't be too crowded so I won't have to worry about whacking somebody with my fly rod. WHAT... wait, did I say trout fishing?? You tell anybody I said that and I'll deny, deny, deny!!!!

Headed out Saturday am for my first Wilhelm trip of the year. Not sure if I sure go 8-12feet for crappie or they up on beds yet? Guessing walleyes are hanging out little deeper, being post spawn?

Wait. You called me a "Sub-par" fishermen in the not too distant past and now you're looking for tips from us "Local yokels". Ain't you a piece of work

Super nice Sam, congratulations. I don't know how crowded it was at Wilhelm yesterday but Arthur sure was seeing a ton of action and not only with 'yaks' but, sail boats too. What fun!!!

Thank ya kindly CS. I figure, if I can box one walleye a week, I might be able to match your recent walleye catching, in say, 6 months. lol
Just another great day to be on the water.
Good times and tight lines.

Hey Atte I see Canonsburg on your location, nice town wife has relatives around there, but what is that foul smell at night that is all they way up to interstate 79 when I'm heading North just past the exit ? I've gone by several times at night and it's really noticeable in that section several times . Just wonder what it is,has a strong sewer like smell.
