It's not just about the fish...

There is more that makes a trip than just the fishing.  Seeing the wildlife and landscape make a day on the water all worth it!

Allegheny Bows

Just a couple more fish pics from our day off on the water.  A couple of nice rainbows

Hook, Land, Pose, and Celebrate!

 Shane with a nice rainbow and the whole story captured in a series of pictures.  It was a good day to be off and fishing the Allegheny with Dave acting as our guide.

Better Late Than Never

Finally the Allegheny river is fishable.  We got down there on the first day that the river was down and it felt great to get the Helios Switch Rod back out.  The fish are pounding caddis larva as usual.  Every fish caught had a mouth full of bugs.

The Pictures Speak For Themselves!

This is a monster brown caught on one of my big black nasty streamers from the toothy critter box.  It was a very old fish.  It barely had any teeth left in its mouth.  Congratulations to John on his biggest river brown ever.  How about those colors!

Browns, Browns, and a big Rainbow?

Another day, another good catch on the river.  My dad was on the oars on this trip and it was an excellent day.  Some very nice brown trout and one big hook jaw rainbow exploded on streamers.  It is not that we do not catch rainbows on the river but they are usually not as nice as this one. The water is getting just about right and the fish are really turning on!

Luck of the Irish!

The pictures speak for themselves but I would like to thank Bob for traveling all the way from Ireland to fish the Clarion River with me over the last week.  The water was high and the weather for all but one day was tough, but we made it happen!  Once again...high water, big streamers, and BIG BROWNS!
