| Northwest PA Posts: 53 | Maybe I'll make the drive to Ithica next fall to fish some fingers tribs...I would imagine that it is very similar to the Erie tribs. | |

| Palmyra PA Posts: 907 | Great to see the photos. My brother-in-law went up on the spur of the moment the day before Thanksgiving and brought back some good steelhead stories for the holiday table. John D, glad to hear you're catching some. | |

| State College, PA Posts: 95 | nice fish!, the coloring of those fish is very nice, they almost look like wild rainbows and not steelhead at all | |

| Northwest PA Posts: 53 | They do look very wild... white fin tips, bright pink and red sides and cheeks... | |

| Pennsylvania Posts: 59 | grannom... PSU Behrend, Gannon, Edinboro or Mercyherst? I lived 3 miles behind PSU Behrend my entire life and went to school there in the late 80s-90s. I always planned my fall schedule so i had a decent break between classes so i could run over to 16 or 20 mile to catch a few steel. nice fish. pretty nice "resource" to have isn't it? great job. | |

| Northwest PA Posts: 53 | Haha, I wish... High School :) And yes it is a very nice "resource". Elk is only a mile or two away from me. | |
