Opening day of trout is almost upon us and I'm itching like a mofo to get out in the water! Depending on water levels me and the old man usually hit the Slippery Rock creek off the Portersville exit, but I have a feeling with this rain that the water levels will just be to dang high for it. Which usually means Deer Lakes because its close.
Anyone else going out for Opening Day and beyond?

My grandfather owned property in the Slate Lick-ish area right on Buffalo Creek. I went there on the first day of trout season.
I haven't fished since I was 14 but for the last 3 or 4 years I've thought I would really like to get back into it. I just have no one to go with and help me re-learn.

My son is starting to really get into it. He's 4 and he talks about it all the time. We fish from the shore of the Chesapeake and catch little things. It's fun though.

some of this gentleman's fishing friends are big on phoebes and especially huss lures, but this gentleman has had minimal luck with both. its a spoon issue.

I am still trying to decide if I want to go out on Saturday for trout or attend the Pitt spring game. If I go out on opening day, I go to Jones Mill Run, Laurel Hill Creek, and Shaffer Run (all near Hidden Valley). Trying to decide which of my 2 options will have less people (should be close).

Deer Lakes was awful this year. Only caught 4; Hardly anybody catching anything at all. I'm glad opening day is past though, and 75% of the people won't be out again until next year.Wake up boys and girls. Time to go catch dinner. Miss going to Sugar Creek back in the day.
