PA Trout Opener?
 

How many of you PA guys will be headed out this weekend for our first few days of trout season? Where will all of you be going? My family always head up to Promised Land State Park for the first day. We rent a few of the state cabins and make a thoroughly enjoyable weekend of it.

PAB,

I would love to go, but I'm more of a Bass, Pickerl, Bullhead, or lake fisherman. Do you use flys or something yellow, like corn or the power bait? When I was a kid I use to go Trout fishing in the White River in Vermont, using corn and bobbers.

Is there a river near in the Promised Land that you go out of or do you goto the lake?

I have to sit the opener out this year. My daughter has a soceer game and guess who the coach is. This will be the first opener I missed in about 15 years. Creeks may be too high anyway.

I will be out. The waters should be at a semi-fishable level buy then. Its a good time to get out and laugh with friends and the less experienced people have a good chance to catch some fish.

I'll be out flyrod in had , I've a mile or so of private stream that I can fish.

Ill be out , either on the kinzua creek in McKean county, or at twin lakes park in westmoreland county....

There is an upper lake and a lower lake along with a small stream that runs between them. I fish the stream first thing in the morning and then head out in the canoe on the lower lake in the afternoon/evening.

I flyfished extensively at one point in my life but do not get out as much as I once did. Now I pretty much just spinner or bait fish.

Taking my Scout troop to the camp in Tionesta. Imagine the look on the fishermens faces when we roll up to a stream and 20+ kids and 10 or so Dads storm the stream.
At least the weather looks good for the weekend:D

I'll be scouting for whitetail or fishing a very small stream with very limited pressure. I hate the trout opener....too much pushing and shoving for their share of the put and take![:@] There's nothing quite like hooking a fish and suddenly having 10 lines tossed tight into the same hole before you even get your fish out of the water.....I hate opening day of trout season! I'll fish later in the year when nobody seems to want to fish anymore.
