PorckChop and Mucka,

I hooked most of my fish on small white beadhead buggers and light pink sucker spawn(sz 12). Just dead drifted under an indicator. My brother hooked one on a bugger, but he caught his fish spinfishing with small marabou jigs.

The first fish of the day was above W Rd, the last fish was much farther down, and the rest came out of the same run downstream a ways from W Rd. The only other guys I saw hooking up were the two people fishing the far upper part of the run we were fishing. Just got lucky I guess..

Nice Fish streamer & fishin. Wish the site would let me upload my photographs- every time I have tried they tell me they are too large of a format?

The only one I got Saturday was on a light yellow sucker spawn size 12 as well under an indicator, and in EXTREMELY slow water I usually shy away from. didnt know if the quick drop in temp from snow earlier in the week might still have them sluggish so I decided to give one of those spots a go.

Mine came on eggs. Red with a yellow dot. I use a sink tip and sinking leader. When the sun came out it was on. No sun no fish. Did put a hook in anotherone and when it's belly hit the shale on the far side it went balistic and was gone.

Anyone on the streams today? The guage was at a 1000 plus and now at 150 some I think, so if no more rain falls I may head up tomorrow. But as I look at the weather it says snow and wintry mix. Is there talk of a messy commute near erie? if so ill just hold off til Wednesday.

 

[fishingood]

StarvinMarvin, did you end up heading up yesterday or today?

 

[PatrickC]

Yesterday was fantastic on Elk. She is getting back to low and clear already. Right now there is rain in the forecast for the next couple of days, but it ain't much. Not sure if it will help. Hopefully more falls than is currently projected.

 

[StarvinMarvin]

I did go today, water was perfect for my taste. Did pretty well from sun up til about noon. Pretty cold in the am, tomorrow I'll be putting Chapstick on my guides no doubt. Landed prob a third of the fish I would normally if I had them clear.

 

[StarvinMarvin]

Anyone been to the tribs recently, thanksgiving break is coming up. How messy are they?

 

[MrMustard]

I'm planning on making a trip on Friday. Looks like it may be a bit nippy though.

 

[PatrickC]

They're wonderful. Go fish!

 

[fishingood]

Headed it up Friday thru Sunday, hoping some of this snow they're calling for comes through.

 

[ryguyfi]

I'll be there Friday as well. Looking forward to getting who knows what disease from biting the ice off my guides.

I hope that helps you all out. Remember the fish will be in the tribs through spring. Don't risk your life traveling for fish in these conditions.

 

[fishingood]

Thank you for the weather report, it will help a lot of people out.

Fortunately, it sounds like most of the heavy stuff will have fallen by Thursday morning, and it will only be a few inches at a time, and not like 6-10 inches in one storm.

 

[PatrickC]

Ahhh c'mon CRB, you know dang well how awesome it is to fish in a snow storm! Well, the travel stinks, but the fishing is pretty cool!

 

[CRB]

and quite

 

[Mahones41]

Chilly but great weekend!

 

[StarvinMarvin]

Fishing, it is coming in one storm. And it is 6-10" lol actually 8-14" according to CRB's post

 

[fishingood]

I'll say, the forecast definitely changed from when I saw it yesterday. Went from a few inches of snow each day, to about 4 to 8 tonight alone.
