Page 5 - Fishing Report | 10-25-16

Perch fishing in the bay over the last two weeks has been picking up. There have been
reports of the bucket fishermen catching perch off the dock, the Convention Center and
off the North and South Piers, depending on which way the wind is blowing. Boaters
have had some good catches off the Yacht club, Liberty Park, the Convention center and
the buoys near the channel in the deep water.

Currently, we have a huge outdoor sale going on with savings on guns, ammo, clothing,
gun safes and much more.

Jeff @ Poor Richards; filed 10-24: Steelheads are pushing into creeks. Friday and Satur-
day the streams were blown out, but Sunday there were down enough to fish…and there
were lots of anglers out! However, we have not had any steelheads or browns brought to
the shop in the last couple days. If we don’t get any more serious rain, streams should be
fishable through this week. With the higher and off-color water, you want to use egg
sacks, skein and crawlers. The last report on perch on the main lake was 35 feet straight
out of Walnut.

Dan @ Elk Creek Sports; filed 10-24: We got more water than needed late last week but
streams came down enough by Sunday to fish. I had a great day fishing steelhead on Sun-
day on Elk Creek – I sure hope others did too. Looks like we had a good run of fish move
into the streams and they will spread out with this flow. For these conditions you need to
do three things: bigger baits, heavier weights and longer leads – things we are not used
to in PA normally clear tributaries. Let us hope we get just enough rain to maintain flows
for a while.

John Puline @ Uncle Johns Elk Creek Campground; filed 10-24: Prior to the heavy rain
last week, our guests at the Campground were doing very well on steelhead. Then the
rains came and blew the streams out. But this morning, Monday October 24, the level is
fishable and our guests are catching fish once again! Just see our photos:
