The boys and I made the Erie, PA pilgrimage over Thanksgiving. It was an Awesome Trip. We posted a photo album on Facebook!
We left early Friday morning and were fishing in the 20F weather by noon. We started on the Elk, which was not kind to us. There were lots of people out and we had to find a place that wasn't too crowded. Not good fly fishin odds on the holiday after Thanksgiving. We picked up and moved alot fishing up to 20 Mile Creek and finally got a couple at dusk by the mouth, but alas we didn't bring the net or the camera. So while Dutton slept in the car, Chief and I broke the skunk!
Saturday morning at 5sm, We started on 18 Mile. We got a fish there and then worked down towards the Elk. We had a couple of smaller fish in almost ever river we fished but no FAT fish. Saturday was mostly about the smaller fish action and searching for the FATTIES. Chief was the man today. He put up the numbers while Duke and I watch in envy!
Sunday.......Sunday was the day for Duke and I. We fished a smaller stream.........and whacked them on a FATMAN White Erie Flash Bugger! Dutton sat below a water fall and caught fish after fish on an egg and on flash flies. I got the FATTIE with 10 minutes left in the trip. BAM!!! Nice fish to the shore, photos and a quick release.
Great Trip to be with the heathens. It's good to know the boys still can fish
