Solid 18inch wild PA brownie.

26inch browns are not common in PA but if you fish hard enough and long enough you may be rewarded with a fish like this.

Fishing report: A few Ohio streams are coming into shape, many are still high. For anyone looking for lake run smallies the Conneaut and Elk will be good over the weekend, should be good numbers of large smallmouth in the rivers. Hot flies have been Clouser minnows, crayfish, and wiggle minnows.

Pa trout fishing has been tough as the rain has not missed our neighbor to the East and high water is making fishing difficult. If you are looking to fish PA this weekend Sulphurs are starting to hatch along with March Browns, Crane Flies, with Green Drakes right around the corner. The Good news is there are a few great streams in PA that will fish this weekend like the Little Juniata and Spring creek. Remember that matching the hatch is critical this time of year and that means not only the Bugs on top but also the nymph stage which trout will key on more than the Duns with the high water. For great PA fly patterns stop in the shop before you go.
Good Luck Dan and Pete.
