Did pretty well for picking a random spot and it looked liked a promising stream, may return. A stocked stream but this one rainbow in particular looked wild, it was downstream of a wild bow trib according to PA's classifications. Idk why they even bother stocking these streams lol!



Today made another drive over the border, but not as far, and had great action with browns and even some good sized ones.
All trout today caught on homemade spinners and marabou jigs. Plug didnt get much use today.

As you can tell in some of the net pics, leaves are coming down but not a problem at all.
Didnt see anything on redds yet. Almost every lil run and hole had trout blitzing for fast-steady retrieved jigs and spinners. Just a few were "lazy" and only hit once they swung in the current. I didnt bother touching bottom with jigs. They were going nuts and jumping like SMB, heck made SMB look sluggish.

I really like those last two photos. The brown is looking down as if he's wondering, "What the hell did I just bite into?!?!"

As for the river, looks pretty and I'm guessing that it's the Lackawanna.

heck if i was gonna put that biggun in the dinks-only-net. even some of the average sized browns were close to jumping out.

Also you guess wrong but general area is correct, which doesnt point out much with how almost every stream in the area is quality
