Wow wow. You sure that's not Walnut ?? Lol. Nice fish.

thorn and loyalhanna both crappie. they must’ve had a lot of extra feed at the hatcheries this year.

mr.crappie
snagr, Were they caught in the regular section ?   sam

sam, i was just having a little fun. those are all steelhead from the erie tribs where my ten year old son and i went on monday. he landed 11 which is his record for one day, so he had a pretty fun day.

I've been out for Trout once, got sick last week so couldn't go but look forward to some more this week. 

Been just using Trout magnets for creek drift fishing. Always amaze me how these things work as well as they do. Just a float and then the little jig with a magnet on it, right above the bottom, not hitting, just floating a few inches off the bottom. Anything will hit it, Trout, Smallies, Rock, Catfish, carp. 

It's pretty wild - last year due to Covid, I fished some streams around the PGH area that had Brookies and Brownies and no Rainbows. This year, no brookies, and way more bows. Feel like with the Coronavirus last year, stocking was all sorts of messed up and they just wanted fish in the waters. Never seen brookies so close to the city, so was a nice change. 

Youngest son and I fished Arthur this evening after the rain. First time fishin' it this year. Nice and peaceful with no boats, fishers or people seen the whole time.

^ Yeah Crappie how'd ya do? I still gotta get my boat outta storage, but hoping to get up there in early may

Chris I went out on my friend Tom's boat. Mine is ready just waiting on a cash infusion. The boat next to us was catching 10-12 inch perch one after the other. I couldn't see what they were using but they were casting and reeling in. We had worms and minnies too.

There's a Country song in there somewhere sam. Crappies, Slabs, and Dinks.

Well..... low 40s , rain and semi-frigid again today. Those 2 days last week got a lot of us all spun up. Then mother nature delivered a good swift kick in the nether region. Better days ahead, chums. Hopefully...

Is that a 25HP with 20 stickers?

Chris tell him to have a yard sale and call me. That's less he has to move.
Congrats Timmy.

Mice?

Our first house had all hardwood floors. Tore the carpet up immediately and had them refinished. Was a great resale point.

I would do all in slate flagstone but it gets so cold on the feet, have in bathroom at camp. Used a good bit of wormy chestnut for floors at camp. Yeah, Bought 500 sf of finished maple  t/g 3/4" a couple weeks ago if he wanted to do a room or two if he got the place. If not I would use on 2nd floor at camp. Hate carpet in the country, not so bad for a bedroom. Farm equipment and lots of wind north end of Pymy makes so much dust depending on wind direction plus all the grass cutting, bringing split wood & logs in. He has a nice fireplace in living room. Just going to save so much time and money that the house already has 'em.
 
 Main change is it has water boiler heat through out the place. Not good for a getaway place. Did come with 250 gallons of fuel oil though so that will help on offsetting new furnace. Oh well getting way off fishing topic here even though it's going to become a fishing cabin.
 
 Sorry

 Could be cherry? When he bought the place today then went to change locks I told him to check under carpet for hardwood. Think some states want $100 for one sheet of 3/4" plywood at the moment 
 
Least he will be able to store some boats over winter in the garages if not totally stacked full of lures by then  Like the north end of that lake for ice out/spring fishing and the marina area is easy pickin's  for Panfish in late fall.
