I’m doing what I’ve done every year for the past decade, bought new gear, tackle etc… Will be pumped tonight to go then when alarm goes off in the morning or I wake to pee (whichever comes first) I’ll shut the alarm off and go back to bed.For those of you who are partaking in Pennsylvanias First Day of Trout Season holiday...

What stream will you be fishing tomorrow? I grew up in Cameron County and have fished a bunch of different streams in Potter. Tomorrow I plan on doing some perch fishing on the bay up here in Erie.For those of you who are partaking in Pennsylvanias First Day of Trout Season holiday...

All year around here in Iowa 😀Still 2+ months out here in CO. Jealous.
Don't listen to the nay sayers!!! Trout is fabulous.What's the best way to cook fresh trout? 🫕🐟

There is no better way to cook trout fresh from a stream than in the fire. Clean, s&p, a couple of lemon slices and a dollop of butter. Wrap in foil and place in coals. Turn over after a few minutes and you're eating heaven.What's the best way to cook fresh trout? 🫕🐟
First Fork of the Sinnemahoning. Near Costello.What stream will you be fishing tomorrow? I grew up in Cameron County and have fished a bunch of different streams in Potter. Tomorrow I plan on doing some perch fishing on the bay up here in Erie.
Boneless, skinless fillets. Breaded and deep fried. But I'm cooking 60+ trout for 20 or so people.What's the best way to cook fresh trout? 🫕🐟

At home I would grill them or something with lemon and butter. You have to get the skin off though. It gets rid of the strong taste. They would probably mild up even more if soaked in buttermilk, but I haven't tried it.

Amen to that...Perch is the BEST!!First step would be to lower your taste expectations.

My dad caught some perch and the wife made perch tacos. They were excellent.Amen to that...Perch is the BEST!!
At the cabin is the best. Best memories as well.Couple ways we do our trout
At the campfire: My cousin will clean and take the skin/head off. Then hell take his vegetables/butter/seasons cover the fish and wrap in tin foil and sit over the fire. when done the bones pull right out and he hands you his hobo surprise. Cold beers, camp fire and beautiful pine creek in the background. Not much better.
At the Cabin: clean and fillet the trout. then pan fry them in seasons and butter. Separate pans/pots make your fried potatoes/onions, canned stewed tomatoes and mac and cheese. Not much better eating. Though it does make a mess
At home: Ill clean and fillet the trout. Then the wife will broil them your typical way. Not all that exciting.
Back in the day my mom would bread them crack crumbs, fry them and just add tartar sauce.
Weve been canning our salmon the last 2 years and then my wife has been make all kinds of things from it. Patties and soups so far. Its freaking great. You catch so many and so big of fish and they sometimes would go to waste. By canning them you dont waste any and the no freezer taste.
Again good luck to all the trout fishermen/ladies out there this weekend!
Wow congrats. I'm jealous. What he catch them on?We have a baseball tournament this weekend.
But.....last weekend for mentor day
Son caught a 25 and a 15 Pali. Taxidermist fee is >$500 but the big fish has the nicest colors.
Bunch of rainbows too and it was snowing and sleeting all day.
Caught the palis on big pine between Gaines and galeton
Good luck everyone
So are white bass perch?There is only one. White perch are bass.
Yea, I always forget that because in the Chesapeake white perch are simply called perch. Yellow perch are called yellow perch. I'm still wondering what Nashville is referring to above.There is only one. White perch are bass.

Thank you!wax worms for my son.
a couple of other kids there with fly rods were using woolly buggers and they were crushing it to. I also think they were using a small short red plastic worm and an egg like i have seen used for steal head.
You've been here a while. I damn near grew up at Wolfe's General Store. That's when the Waterville Hotel was actually good. Next door was an awesome fly shop, McConnell. Those were the days. Do the old folks still run Wolfe's?Thank you!
Toss-up, both amazing. Crappie right there too.Or some of the walleye I’m frying right now.😎
Yeah, I’ve been on the board for awhile; mostly just lurk and learn from those far more knowledgeable about wrestling (and pasta) than me. I wish I grew up near Slate Run. I grew up outside of Philly in Swarthmore, but my dad grew up in Williamsport. We’d go up there every summer, and we’d typically hit Slate Run and/or Pine Creek near Tiadaghton, as well as the Loyalsock. Slate Run/Pine creek remain some of my favorite places to fish, which is why I chose it for handle. Am in St. Louis now, where the fishing is limited, but better than expected. Was back in Slate Run area a year ago this month for first time in 30+ years. It’s beautiful. Would like to take a few weeks to a month and rent a cabin in that general area and just fish, but work is not too cooperative right now.You've been here a while.

I got around 2 dozen today. Mostly after lunch. Morning, the fish were lethargic and I was cold too. Caught most of mine on either an Adam's wet fly or a pheasant tail soft hackle. Caught a couple on small streamers and a few on olive or blue wooly buggers.wax worms for my son.
