Northwest PA Posts: 87	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: 87	Haha, I wish... High School :) And yes it is a very nice "resource". Elk is only a mile or two away from me.
