I hated those things at first because in the Lehigh I always thought they were a huge trout. After a few fairly large samples abd some hard fighting small ones when I couldn’t scare up a trout I’m appreciating them more. The first one I ever caught was in a reservoir up north. I threw a live...

Appreciate you being merciful and letting me post a few before your usual 23-25” monster completely deflates me. I’ve had a single day with 5 fish over 20” but it’s way too early so must be a red herring. You’ll casually drop a few 28-32”ers effortlessly, I can already see it. Lol. I’m gonna...

Hahaha that’s great

Yep my thoughts too. Looks like Yellow Creek out near Pittsburgh. I’m considering going on their waiting list now that I’m not Reloing most likely. I read 5 years or so. Some nice fish in that 2.5 mile stretch though. I stalk their feeds and haven’t seen a blue color phase that big. The markings...

Guy from the local site who’s been less than a good friend is going through a rough patch. Gave him pointers to fish this AM and nothing over 10”. I’m scrambling with my Princess turning 7, mother and grandparents do in, and still a work day but he wouldn’t hear “No”’so I took him to the Lehigh...

Posted in tourney thread, caught a couple dozen, saw some bigger ones that were slower than the Brookies that crushed everything.

No fingers on the Tiger but it was cool. Have some videos of schools circling too. Hope it’s a great year there

I thought I’d be sporting, caught 24ish but only took pics of a handful.

Yeah, we had a relationship with a commercial grower who supplied the Nurseries. I put a raised bed in on the back of our lot after replanting a few times and fighting droughts and clay. The raised bed was 2-3’ deep, 150’ long and 60’ deep with Cryptos along the back and all kinds of other stuff...

Few more for you. Just a quick lunch trip. Expect much better fish and pics after tonight. Was hoping rain would last a few days but I’ll work with it. I’m leaving fish in water but if I get larger ones I’ll try and lift out slightly for the pic.

Man I missed the A-5’s lead in. I blew it sorry lol

Thanks and no worries on info dump. I had a yard full of Cryotomeria Yoshinos in Raleigh. We always bought commercial and by a truck or box truck load. Told you I had a lot of plants lol. I like bald cypress too. Not so big on small flowers these days. I like tulips but squirrels do to.

Don, do you sell ornamentals? I’ve a Japanese style garden started sort of. It was a terraced garden to allow steps on one side vs. concrete floating steps on the other side of the yard. I cleared the weeds and added a few things. I’m looking for a few more. Right now it’s a Weeping blue atlas...

Yep, I said after leaving Raleigh no more over landscaping. Then our daughters birthday hit. I’ve bought her pink hydrangeas since she was a year old every birthday. Then she needed a garden. The rental needed a “septic garden”. I struggled with coral bells in NC but they grew great here. Plus...

I handpicked some “Japanese” false cedars, hinokis, etc. and my kids let the small dog use them as pee trees so no longer with us. My older dog, God rest her soul, dug out a few $k in new landscaping around the bay window I put in. A few dozen varieties of coral bell/heucherellas, unique hosta...

Heck I can’t Even keep my Bro cutting grass high enough not to burn it. With rain a few years back and a little love it was pretty nice.

Not big by those standards, just large, mature by landscape standards. Or maybe I’m calibrated to newer landscaping from high growth areas of the country. May be comfortably middle aged for all I know. I do see pics from less than 10 years ago and the round ones are smaller almost pruned while...

Figs, in PA?!? Don’s a horticulture guy? Yep need to keep him on the good side. Think I planted about 300 perennial bushes, trees, fruit, etc. on our 1/2 acre city farm in Raleigh. I dug out 2’ by 1/2 acre of clay and replaced over a decade. Back hurts just thinking of it.

Posted in contest thread to buy found the one from Opener the kid lost with me. 4:30 pm, full sun, gin clear water, on a work conf call, using a size 18 wire hook. No recovery so good pics for once.

Best part was working from the creek and the call ran long so I decided to tie on the tiny hook and drift a single egg. Somehow I made a weightless cast across to it and it sunk all but perfect.
