Clarion and Allegheny River Trips 2017

After a soaking wet spring, which had the water levels high for most March and April, conditions finally stabilized for mid May-June.  The fishing was phenomenal.  Lots of big wild brown trout with a few rainbows and some brookies mixed in.  There are always streamer fishing opportunities when the water is high, but it sure is fun after it comes back down and you can get some shots at these big bruisers on dry flies.  Action will pick back up this fall and be good all through the winter.

Light Tackle Guided Trips for Walleye in PA/NY

       
        Our 18.5' Crestliner Fish Hawk allows us for great opportunities on the Kinzua Dam and Chautauqua Lake for Walleye and anything else that may decide to bite.  We target the walleye but frequently catch perch, smallmouth bass, white bass, pike, and an occasional musky.  We can accommodate 1-2 anglers per trip which also includes and the gear.  All that is required from the angler is proper clothing and a fishing license.  Lunches are included on full day trips as well. These are very laid back and relaxing trips that are perfect for just enjoying a day on the water.  Also, any fish that we keep with be cleaned and fillets put into zip lock bags for transport home.  You may just want to have a cooler with some ice to put them in afterward.

Flag!!! An ice fisherman's favorite word to hear.

Flag up means fish on the line..(hopefully).  It turned out to be a great picture with the backdrop of the iced over reservoir and the Allegheny Forest. 

A new PA state record Walleye.  6oz!

A nice Northern Pike.  As you can tell by my eyes being closed, the wind and rain was blowing in my face.

Managed a quick pic when the sun came out for 5 minutes.  Turned out great.  Should send this picture to the CLAM shelter company.  Maybe I could get an endorsement.
