Weather Is finally cooperating but my back hasn’t been, there’s a 3 mile death March to a spot holding a ton of hungry monsters and I’ve not made it yet. I should’ve been there Sat and Sun at daylight. Probably only chance at breaking the 10 lbs trout club. Just old and wore out I guess. I’m not...

I am not sure what they are. I see little white grubs occasionally and realized the green ones on one particular tiny creek stocked with 5-10 lbs trout must’ve been Catalpa worms. They’d only hit those as they fell. I thought they were a southern thing. Past weekend I realized this area is full...

Getting ready to do the same. My 9 yo has never cared about clothing/hair but I’ve convinced him to try a barber. He usually gets a long clipper job by my wife. Our daughter is 7 and never had a cut yet. Her hair has always naturally been perfect but think it’s coming. I’ve resisted a long long...

Here they everywhere, after our yard catching I mostly stopped looking. Was digging up old mulch today for some new ostrich ferns and counted about 30. Walk to far side of yard to relocate a few recently dropped railroad ties and counted 8 more under the first one. Not going to throw my back out...

Should add Ive pics of those trout, I’ve not hit one yet over 5 lbs. My neighbor has an area named after him and fishes almost daily. He got an 8-9 lbs brownie last spring and a 12 lbs rainbow the season or two before to mention a few. My best length wise from there is 24” range.

If I could buy and privatize about 1/8th mile, if we are dreaming keep it flowing like early spring all season, I’d never leave lol

Funny, never fished MC lake, can’t get past the creek. I’d rather catch 15-18” trout there in the spring with the occasional 20” mixed in than fish almost anywhere else in the world. Says a lot about that little slice of heaven. Even prefer it to AK! This spring was a huge let down. No water and...

And if you go up stream “until you almost can’t go anymore” that’s where I was when I hit catfish. Might get back after them. Getting busy and things to wrap up before fall.

Not a pinnacle, that’s the trail to Split Rock. I tried buying that house at the top as a hunting camp/ second rental. Sold private party way too cheap. Three years back now I think. $230k with 25 acres bordering state park. That trail if you can call it that overlooks some of the best Lehigh...

Right by my place, still killing it trying to wrap up projects. Know of a hard access spot overrun with big trout but was so sore getting up this AM @4:30 Iwent back to sleep. Maybe tomorrow after church I’ll get out. MC was 80+ degrees a few weeks back. Kids like to go to the beach there. About...

Haha, I’d send you coordinates but,,,,,,,most of my spots are ‘off trail’

Guessing the HHA Optimizer Lite vertical pin that adjusts by a wheel with yardage tape is overkill for him. It’ll serve him a long time if he likes it and I’m a big proponent of good optics on anything. My Xbow will have a Zeiss scope this season. I carry Swarovision Binos and a Zeiss LRF. I’ve...

I always thought the X’s on fly leader where the reduction from the butt end to the tip. For easy math by a Simpleton 5x would be 10 lbs down to 2 lbs. If it’s just weight, IE 5x = 5lbs no taper why not just use a good flouro leader? The fly leader I’ve bought then only used once are pre-cut and...

Herd of bucks by the house on my way in, I’d be stalking them already if I was him,,, probably for the best I only had a kiddy bow at 9 lol

Last minute Corp dinner so my Brother took Logan to class. I just got in, wish I had something this cool at 9,,,

Me either, I’m trying, even looking at a charter this month. See a guide with a small fleet it appears out of Oz. Reading his feedback seems like a real good captain. One guy had a small boat and the Captain went into detail helping a non-client get setup and on fish. Posts some unbelievable...

I’d forgotten some catfish are fun to catch. I like active catfish vs. sitting on the bottom waiting. Probably have a few bells left here from NC and a few rod holders though. Might be a fun late night trip or two in my future.

Salmon, psshhh! To quote a wise old old man “Wake me up, when September ends!” Lol

If my brother didn’t have to go check out a job site at 5am I’d still be there. Bucket of minnows and catfish seemingly every cast. Oh well, fun for a bit anyway.

Fishing Lehigh tonight, bottom of a massive hole near cold feeder. Thought maybe I’d get a few trout. Hooked a small rainbow, few smallies, added a slinky sinker to hold it deep in the fast. Fish hit my tiny wire hook and minnow setup. About 5 mins of Salmon like behavior. Wouldn’t budge, my...
