Ed Bordas and PA Steelheading 80's/90's

[drakeking412]

I'm gathering info for an article I'm working on and could use some help. I'm looking for any and all info, stories, anecdotes, and facts from the late 70's/80's/early 90's Erie PA steelheading scene and Greensburg native Ed Bordas. Photos will get you a high five and Ed Bordas/Old timey polaroids will get you a leaping high five. Please if you have a lot just pm me with your email address or phone # so we can do an interview or something so we don't crowd the board or my inbox.

Thanks in advance!!!

It may be a needle in a haystack thing but, MAYBE there is something of help in the PA Angler Legacy Issues.

You would have to peruse the table of contents of a bunch of issues, but who know, you may get lucky.

Good luck!

I'm pretty sure I read an article in PA Angler years ago about the early days of lake run rainbows in Erie tribs, before the modern mayhem began. It was very interesting.

DK, I dunno how much help I can be, but I knew Ed a little. Back in those days I was a pretty good fly tyer and spent ALOT of time in a local shop. Ed would stop in and share stories and insight to his “ Laser” fly.
He did credit me with teaching him how to use a Matarelli whip finisher, which is probably the nicest thing any teacher ever said about me.
