Default RE: PA Trout Opener?

Today was the worst opener I have ever seen in Indiana County! I saw a total of 4 trout pulled out of the 2 streams that I fished today. About 7 hours of fishing, and I didn't even catch one!

I went to Brush Creek in the morning and it was still a little high, but the trout just weren't there! I saw one Amish guy pull out a little brookie, then some kid pulled out 2 brookies in the "deep hole" which is normally packed with trout, and then I saw one guy walking up to his truck with one trout. Everyone I talked to there hadn't even got hits.

Went to Little Mahonning in the mid-day and it was another waist. The water was still high and pretty murky! Not a single person there had any trout. I talked to about 20 guys who had been there all morning and they said that they saw about 5 trout pulled out of the "deep hole" there, and I talked to the owner of the property who said that when the Fish Commission stocked it, they put 21 buckets of trout in that hole! None of the Palaminos were pulled out!

I talked to my best friend who is at his camp and he fished Mill Creek and the Tionesta, and he caught a total of 4 trout and he fished the entire day. His uncle caught a few, along with his cousin. There were 18 guys at the camp, and they caught a total of 12 trout combined! His uncle won the "big trout pool" with a 13" brown trout [:-]

Hopefully the weather stays nice and they pack the trout back in on Monday (the trout are entirely spread out due to the massive flooding)
