Yak on the Yough

No not a Kayak... but the mere mention of IC Light cans would be nearly enough to make me Yak, and I was indeed fishing on the Yough River upriver of Smithton, PA. Only 2.5 hours had passed since we got home from Tom's Diner following a long night of BYOBowling when my alarm announced that it was time to go fishing. Off i went, hands at TEN and TWO. Stopped for garden hackle at my favorite Sunoco and got a French Vanilla cappuccino, or whatever they're called. I wasn't even hungover yet, but possibly still under the influence of the world's greatest Light Lager. Met Kevin and Logan at the GetGo around 6am, into the water by 6:30. Wet waded out to, whoaaaaa up past the kids, and bam, the hangover started. Water was stained, about a foot visibility. Logan caught a sheephead and a nice rainbow floating night crawlers, i had one or two good hits, bouncing the natural baits on the bottom. Kevin was bombing an 8 weight with some class of Tarpon fly on the end. Moved down below the bridge in Smithton, landed one sheephead and one small rock bass in some slower water. called it a day around 11am. back to bed.

Didn't take any pics, but new waterproof/shockproof/freezeproof/crushproof camera is on the way just intime for the Quebec trip next week!

Chartiers at Dusk

Evening out on Chartiers Creek with Sean and his friend Mark. Caught an array of fish; Rockbass, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass and White Crappies.

Fished until 9:30, walking back upstream past dusk was a treat.
Will definately be back, perhaps with some garden hackle in the arsenal.
