12/27/09 20 Mile 12/28/09 Elk Creek P.A

I wanted to post about a recent trip into the P.A tribs. We fished 20 mile on Sunday with cloudy to clear conditions. We found a bunch of fish in the upper section of the creek. We found fish in runs and in the holes. We used a bunch of different patterns but the most productive was the Pittsburgh Prince. The Pittsburgh was designed and patented by Dennis Vidmar from Screamingreels guide service. John was having a great time on 20 mile along with the rest of us.

Craig,Dave and I fished Elk on Monday 12/28/09. We fished the upper sections above 90 and found fish in the deeper sections and runs. We used Egg Patterns all morning with a bunch of hooks ups and a bunch of fish landed. Almost all the fish were older and have been in the creek for some time. We did catch a female spitting eggs so they are spawning. We fished another section above Follies and found more older fish. I have attached a few pics. Keep the reels screaming.

12/06/09 Steelhead Alley Fishing

We headed out for chrome and found chrome. We fished a far east side stream with good numbers of fish. We used egg patterns and big streamers. I have attached a few pictures for your viewing pleasure. Keep the reels screaming

12/03/09 Rain Dance

Wanted to post regarding Steelhead Alley about the flow rates. All the rivers and creeks are up real high today. The rain we received yesterday and during the night pushed all the rates straight up. It will take a few days for the smaller tribs to clear but for the bigger water it will take a while. The far east side tribs will clear quicker. Keep the reels screaming

12/02/09 Flows

The flows are dropping and the chrome is running wild up the streams and creeks. We are anticipating more rain later today. The rain will hit all the tribs again as its projected path is across North East Ohio and P.A. This will then bring the tribs back up and push more fish. Keep the reels screaming

11/30/09 Rain Dance

I wanted to post about the recent rain fall we received last night. The rain gods have supplied us with the much needed rain. All the flows are up enough to bring in fresh fish. The gauge is still showing straight up on all the tribs. Keep the reels screaming

11/29/09 Steelhead Alley

I added a few more pics from today's trip on Steelhead Alley

11/29/09 Steelhead fishing

I started out today on the hunt for Chrome with Jim and Tom. We found a small tributary on the far east side. We fished this trib for about 6 hours landing a bunch of nice fish. We found fish in the holes and fast water. We used all kinds of single egg patterns and a few new patterns developed by Dennis Vidmar. Dennis is an excellent tier and has several flies that produce fish. He also has been developing and experimenting with several realistic flies. We have used them on several trips with great results. Other guide services know Dennis and his ability to tie great flies. We also had the pleasure of fishing with Blane today (Net Boy). It was funny today when I watched several guys attempt to catch a fish in a run and no one had any luck. I looked up stream to see Blane have this fish inhale a Pitt nymph and the fight was on. Blane landed the fish and it was his friend the rest of the day. Another great day to be out fishing on Steelhead Alley. I have attached a few pics. Keep the reels screaming.

Happy Thanksgiving

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We fished Elk creek on the holiday and found a bunch of fish. I have attached a couple of pictures. Keep the reels screaming

11/23/09 New York

We made another run into New York for a few more browns. We fished Oak Orchard in the morning with clear conditions and headed over to 18. Upon our arrival we found that they opened the gates of water to let fresh fish run. We located a nice spot and started hooking fish. We had a great time and I have included a few pictures. Keep the reels screaming

New York 2009

More pics of New York. We fished Oak Orchard on Saturday with the guys picking up fish in the faster water. We then took off on Sunday and fished the Catt one of New Yorks pride creeks. We then fished 18 mile on Monday with a bunch of great fish. I have attached more pics

2009 New York

I wanted to post regarding a recent trip into New York. We found fish but not in great numbers as in years past. We all fished hard and made new friends. We found McDonald's to be our new spot to stop at least twice or pass three times while hunting for open water. I have included a few pics. I have been out doing the rain dance. I look forward to seeing all of you next year for this outing. Keep the reels screaming.

11/07/09 Steelhead Alley Fishing

We hit the East side tribs today. Michelle and Eric were the lucky ones today who headed out with Screamingreels Guide service. We used egg patterns,streamers and everything in the book most of the day. We had a large amount of fish and we landed a bunch. I have attached a few pics. Keep the reels screaming.

11/02/09 Steelhead Alley

Hit the tribs after the rain and had a blast. I took Dominic Devito out for his first steelhead adventure. We headed to a East side trib and found a bunch of fish. He hooked up at least ten times and landed this real nice fish. Dominic has never gone steelhead fishing and has never used a fly rod till today. Our hats are off to you on such a nice job. Thank You Joe and Dennis for helping today. Keep the reels screaming. This guy will be back

10/19/09 Fishing Hard

Well we hit the tribs today and found some nice fish. I took out a new fly guy and on his first day I would say he landed 10 fish plus. It was not scheduled as a fishing trip it was a learning experience. I think we all learned something today. Keep the reels screaming. May that bond grow.

Elk Creek 10/25/09

No long stories on this blog just straight at you fishing. We headed to Elk creek after the creek showed clearing per the water gauge. We started at Girard Park and never left. We used the Vidmar tickler all day. I have attached a few pics. Sorry John we missed you next week give me a call. Keep the reels screaming

Steelhead Hunting

I took a half a day off yesterday to hunt the Chrome. We hit Elk Creek and found a few fish with no flow. We did manage to hit a few browns on Elk. We then drove to Walnut Creek and found a few fish with no flow. All the places in P.A had fish with no flow and a bunch of guys walking around attempting to catch these fish. I wish I would have run some video of this one guy because he was chasing the fish in the water attempting to get them to bite. Its still early in the season but we need more rain for a few days to move more fish. The lower end of Walnut had a large amount of fish waiting to come up. We then drove West and hit Ohio tribs and they all paid off. I attached a few pics. Keep the reels screaming
