Steelhead report and more



Brand spankin new, ain't she a beauty

 First the big news, the Pineville bridge is open.  Looks like it will last a while.  Sure will make traveling around the river alot easier.  Secondly and just as important, we have water.  At Pineville gauge right now 1110cfs.  It's a new world out there for boating and wading.  The fish seem to like it too.

The steelhead are well distributed through out the river.  The Pineville to 2A stretch is fishing great.  We are able to find fish most places we throw a line.  The fish so far have been dime bright, very little color showing.  Have had good success on glo bugs in Oregon Cheese with a cherise dot and chartruse with a cherise dot.  Also tie a few in light blue yarn with a cherise dot and have had success with that works too.  Because of the success with glo bugs I haven't really focused on trout beads alot but word from the river is they are working good,  try some 12mil beads, alot of guys are doing good with these.  Blue egg sacks are still producing good as well.

Looking for something to  do next Saturday, November 5? If you're in Erie, Pennsylvania check out the Steelhead Expo.  It looks like it is primarily focused on the Lake Erie fishery but should be interesting.  It runs from 1pm to 9pm and there will be some major venders there with their new product.  Click on the '"expo" above to check it out.

One last observation from the rowing seat, it was cold today, no rain or snow, but cold, late November type cold.  Time to be thinking about warmth and wading safety.  Nothing can make a day miserable like cold hands and feet.  Time to put away the stocking foot waders and pull out the boot foots.  Also, wear you korker or studded boots, felts will freeze on you and be very dangerous to wade in.  I know I don't need to tell you that, just a reminder.
