Fishing at Potato Creek

[davet]

Went up to a buddy of mine's "cabin" in McKean this weekend. Did some fly fishing at Potato Creek. You can fish with anything you want here, bait, lure, fly. I chose fly and caught 2 brooks and 1 rainbow....all stocked, and about half-a-dozen chubs.

I had a great time as the Mrs. fished as well. She missed a few.

It was great to know that even in "regular" trout streams, a fly that I can tie will catch 'em!!

Hot though. Had to revive the trout after the fight.....and they do fight like crazy!! No barbed hooks and a quick net scoop allow a fast un-hook and reintroduction to the water.

Great time was had!!

Neat catching them on your own ties!!!

Sounds turd free.

Wasn't that a song wayyyy back when, "Turd Free" ? No wait. That was "Born Free".

No. Baked, in the summer....fries....and no sweet potato.

But I understand Dan Quayle was sentenced to fish potato creek for ten years just to learn spelling.
