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.

snagr,Actually they did stock some that size in the creek & some of the lakes around here. My buddy's son had one like that on the first day,then got another on Mon,this was in the reg. section.btw   Not nice to lie to Mother Nature or to the  other posters on here. lol   sam

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. 

You can add a few others to the list of amazing how they work. Like they are live bait out there. Don’t need to do anything dangling from a bobber and somehow fools so many different fish.

Just fished a small lake in eastern PA. You know factory level employee being asked to meet with three Colonels tomorrow... Out for an hour, got one largemouth (targeting pickerel). Using a fluke. Tossed out on a plastic worm hook and no weight. Let sit, twitch 2-3 times, let sit and repeat. Not too much harder than letting float on a bobber. Fish are dumb. But some think they know everything.

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.
 
crappy

Did ya catch any? I refuse to believe Giggles McGee got skunked!
