I will be attempting to find fish in Pennsylvania on Saturday and on Sunday I will attempt to fish Ohio.
I am really wrestling not hiking but I need to feel the rushing waters on my skin.
I know when I go fly fishing or use my eggbeater somewhere it is to relax. I may walk countless miles and lose countless flies or lures. I know that the reel reason I am even out there is to unwind from life.
Saturday I shall drive out to Presque Isle State Park in Pennsylvania. Smallmouth Bass should be starting to arrive in catchable numbers along her shores.
The wind will be out of NNE and only 12 knots. I will spend the better part of the day there before going to Elk Creek.
At Elk Creek in the lower mile of the creek, she should start to see smallies moving in to get into their prespawn feeding frenzy.
I have not targeted smallies in Elk in maybe 15 years and I am sure they are still in there. We will see how it all plays out.
I will also be paying a visit to the west break wall in Conneaut.
The last time I was up there on the inside of the west wall I saw a huge sand bar that nearly reached the break wall and it has always been shallow there.
Now access to the break wall may even be easier, but we will see on Saturday.
