By: Chris Shaffer It didn’t matter who we asked, every one told us fishing the all-tackle section of Elevenmile Canyon wasn’t good this time of year. That included the attendant at the gas station where tackle was sold, the general store with a large tackle section, the fly shop, the local marina, the ranger station […]
By: Chris Shaffer Central Pennsylvania is littered with trout fishing opportunities. All enter the playing field Saturday when the general trout season begins. Anglers will be covering the banks of nearly every trout approved water from Pittsburgh to State College to Harrisburg on up to Scranton, and everywhere in between. There’s so many waters to […]
By: Dustin Slinker We’re in the transition period in Alaska. The majority of the salmon runs are over and a lot of fisherman are hanging up their rods and cleaning up their rifles to go hunting.

By: Chris Shaffer Trout fishing is quickly petering out in Eastern Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, not all streams have gone troutless yet. In fact, action on the Little Lehigh Creek last week couldn’t have been much better. Quality fishing should persist for another few weeks and while the PA Fish & Boat Commission has completed trout stocking […]
By: Chris Shaffer Central Pennsylvania is littered with famous trout streams. Meanwhile, few gain as much attention as Spring and Penns Creek, both of which have been on our radar for a few years. Fortunately, while we were staying in State College last week both were fishable. The previous year they were so high and […]
By: Chris Shaffer When we drove by Central Pennsylvania’s Canoe Creek Monday recent storms had given the popular trout fishing stream a makeover since the opener. Gone was the clear, easy to read water. In is the tougher to read, dark, tea looking stream that forces anglers to use their instincts to find fish rather […]
By: Chris Shaffer The Davidson River’s hatchery supported section is one of the most heavily fished two miles of river in Western North Carolina. A favorite of day users, campers, hikers and locals, this popular section of river that rests below the fly only water gets hammered by anglers. Depending on when you arrive fishing […]
