The Nearly Frozen Streams of Pennsylvania
The Nearly Frozen Streams of Pennsylvania
Taylor and I wanted to get out to fish and be back for the JETS game, so there were only a handful of streams where we would be able to do that. We ventured out to a stream that is half freestone and about the other half is groundwater. The fishing was slow to start. [...]

Aaron do you ever fish and tell it seems like you never post the names of the streams in PA you fish ?

Re: The Nearly Frozen Streams of Pennsylvania
I've already asked that question about the streams. Fantastic fish and pics!!

If you dig thru all the DVD posts he tells you where he was leaving DVD's as a hint to where he goes.
Re: The Nearly Frozen Streams of Pennsylvania
I tell you how to catch the fish there has to be something left to find out. I will tell you that it is not the stream. The angler makes the stream the place to be. That's what I am trying to get at. The more techniques and strategies that you have at your disposal, the more fish that you will take. I could name at least twenty places in the state of Pennsylvania where you could catch fish like that. There are also about a half dozen streams that I am going to be exploring this upcoming season where the fish are as nice if not nicer than those, of course this is based on other fishermen's reports ;)
Re: The Nearly Frozen Streams of Pennsylvania
That's funny wanting to know the streams too. It seems like Aaron could fish in a puddle in the road and pull out a 20 inch fish!!
Re: The Nearly Frozen Streams of Pennsylvania
I just want to know out of curiousity not to go out and catch 20" fish at that stream as it would be nice to. I'm always looking for new spots to fish close by but I fish for a lot of species of fish and with the littleman taking up most of my time on the water these days I don't think I have the time to put in to catch big trout on a consitant basis without taking time from the other game fish I pursue . On a second note I injoyed your dvd and learned some techniques that i'm looking forward to trying out this spring . When I did fish mainly for trout this is the biggest wild trout I caught in a spring creek in PA it measured 26"

Re: The Nearly Frozen Streams of Pennsylvania
Nice fish, what creek was that caught in?
Re: The Nearly Frozen Streams of Pennsylvania
Wow! That is a big one... Pennsylvania streams hold lots of trout in excess of twenty inches. That one is in a league of it's own though.
When I think of streams in PA where I have not caught a 20" wild brown trout it's tough to make that list when talking about any of the larger waterways. This fall and early winter has been a true eye opener as to the potential of some of the lesser known streams that hold nice fish. I can't wait for the next two weeks to be over with so I can really get out and fish all of the new places that I have been eyeing up.
I do have a good idea of where that fish came from based upon the "blocky" body shape. Definitely eats meat. It's not long and slender like your average insect eater.
Seeing that large fish just proves that it's about getting out there!
Re: The Nearly Frozen Streams of Pennsylvania
26"? Was that a length or girth measurement. Let me guess, there were no small trout ANYWHERE near that beast. A 26" trout is a trophy, but that thing is absolutely beautiful. I can't get over how fat that puppy is. Come to think of it, it may have weighed more than my pup.
