Mountain Weekend

The Saturday of Labor Day weekend Eric and I had planned a Yough River float from Confluence to Ohiopyle. 11 Miles of tailwater from the Yough River Dam.

Box of streamers, terrestrials, and big nymphs.

Day Break on the Yough
The One Fly?
Where the Cassleman River meets the Yough
One of the two big bass I caught on the trip. Cudos to Eric for maneuvering the canoe in the rapids.

The new reel for Steel
Some Bugs.

All the rods at the end of the day.

Headed back to Eric's for home made perogies, grilled chicken, summer salad, salmon and other kind of fish. Along with some IC Lights, and a hot shower it was bedtime by 9:45. Up around 8am on Sunday to try a closer stream that runs into a decent sized lake. Erica fed us Blueberry Jags and it was off to the stream. A solid mile or two hike back into the woods, and we found the cold, very cold, and clear stream.

We were sure it would be full of natives, or stockies... neither.
Just full of two yinzer fly guys...

And this guy...
Fished out way down to where the stream empties into the lake. Caught some bluegills and smaller bass which was fun while it lasted. Hiked out and headed home.
