Pennsylvania.

Like this guy. Granted, he is from PA. Pittsburgh in fact. His name is Paul. He's fished all over the place. He's spent lots of time on PA's best water: Penns, the Little J, and so on. But his best PA trout ever, that would be the lovely gal pictured above, came from the Youghiogheny, the Yough, and to those with a love of the literary, the river Y. Paul says he'll be back soon.

By the end of the day Paul had put 8 fish in the net, and if we both had made a few different moves we could have doubled that. Not a twenty fish day on the Green or the Bighorn, but a good day, especially if you take into account the venue: an hour from Pittsburgh and three hours from Cleveland.

Sound good? Come on over for a visit. We're happy to tailor a day or more to make sure you have a great time. From float trips on the river for trout or bass to wade fishing small mountain streams for native brookies and wild browns, we've got something for everyone.

If you'd like to come fish with us, call (724) 433-7151, or email jdibiase@laurelhighlandsguideservices.com And if you're on the fence, stop in to see the boys at CRO. They'll give you a push and let you know what you'll need for the trip.

We'll look forward to seeing you on the water.
