Youghiogheny river near Confluence, PA

Fishing was decent at the Yough on Saturday October 23, 2010.  Between the two of us we caught 3 Rainbow Trout, one got lose and had a few hookups.  The last bow was a decent fight for only being 16".  Started off cooler at 35 degrees, here are some photos.

Steelhead fishing in Erie, PA

Adam and I went to Walnut creek in Erie on Saturday 16, 2010.  We arrived at Poor Richards bait shop around 5:50 am got some single eggs and some minnows, then headed down to Walnut.  We chose to fish Manchester hole because we only had a few hours before we had to head back to Pittsburgh (Home).  We had multiple hook ups and I managed to get one in!  We forgot the camera in the car, but took pictures later.  All in all it was a great trip because of the recent rain in Erie, the water was a tad bit high but still clear, it was in the 60's and the sun was shinning.
