Report: Walnut had alot of fish being caught
between the small boat launch and Manchester Hole.
Most successful anglers that I talked to were using
egg sacks & wooly buggers but alternated as the
fish would go off & on to different
baits/presentations. The ice seemed to have scoured
out some of the loose fill in the holes though it
may just be because of higher water flows.

Report: We started at about 8:30 and fished
untill about4:30. Morning conditions were bright
and windy, fishing was slow with only about 10
keeper gills and a few smelt. When the clouds
rolled in for the afternoon the fishing picked up
only slightly. We ended up with about 30-35 keeper
gills and about 40 smelt. The sun and warm temps
took a toll on the snow which was still on top of
the ice leaving 2"-3" puddles in some areas
although the ice depth remains between 11"-13"
depending on the areas we had moved to. Let's hope
better days are ahead like I keep hearing. Even
though fishing was slow, it was still a GREAT DAY
OFF!!!!!

FLAMINGO!!. Sunday the creeks were slushy. I
learned a new technique called gettin the yank. You
better learn yourself it. By the way we did get
some good fish, where? IT DOESNT MATTER WHERE!!!!!!

Report: got to stream before 10:00 am. look
great, sun shinning water moving, little ice,
slight color to the water. tried everything in
vest, nothing really worked. as the day warmed the
snow began to melt and the water levels rose and
got more colored. tied on a large olive green
wooley bugger and caught a female and then later on
a orange egg caught a nice male. father in law
caught a large male on a red egg. i went 2/2 which
was fine because it was so nice out. water may be
high and dirty tomorrow if warm up keeps going.
plenty of snow up there. good luck

Report: I was wondering if someone could
help. In the fall, while fishing Manchester, the
last time I was up, I had caught about 50
fish..unfortunatly I had a line problem and only
landed one. I use a 10'6" St. Croix noodle rod and
4# trilene for line..obviously the line wasnt
strong enough. What kind of line can I use that
isnt too obnoxious..someone had suggested 8#
something or rather, but I cant remember. I would
like to get something on the reels that I will be
able to use year round that is reliable. Thanks for
the info in advanced. Tight lines all...and be safe
if your crazy enough to play on the ice..

the "Flats" with little luck. I landed one and did
not see many more than that. My friend 0. We went
to Walnut next ( the new holes and manchester ). I
got one more and my friend got 0. Then we went to
Elk at Mckean. I got one more and my friend got 0.
It was a tough day. Got all three with white sucker
spawn. It was nice but the fish aren't there like
in the fall. I wish I new where they are hiding.
Good luck to the rest of you guys. My friend, who
went 0 for 0, is yours truly Flipcast. Hey Chuck

Report: Randy Gifford and I fished the Elk
in the Sterritania area all day Friday. There are
fish that far up! We each hooked about a dozen.
They took Squirl Butts, Price Nymphs, spawn sacks,
and Stucker Spawn.
The bigger fish (6-8 pounds) were all colored up
and some had nicks on ther foreheads from ice hits,
while the smaller fish (2-3 pounds) were fresh and
chrome colored.
It was COLD, but it was worth it. Just cast in
between the ice blobs and make sure to get your
presentation to the bottom. That's where the fish
are, on the bottom. Mostly in pools and deep runs.
Only saw a few in the riffles.
I used Stanley's Ice-Off Paste on my rod guides and
it kept them ice-free. My fishing buddy didn't use
it and his iced up all the time. We have identical
rods, lines, and setups. So the darn stuff does
work!!!! The problem is finding it. The only shop
that I know that has it is TMF Sport Shop in
Ravenna, OH. It is a Loon product, so it's not that
hard to get. Just that most shops don't carry
it!!!
Oh yea, if any one finds a two-way radio (black
Radio-Shack) its mine. Lost the dang thing up by
the water falls I think!
Tight Lines, and Catch & Release.

AM and saw no fish in any location from inlet to

Manchester Hole. About 10-12 anglers there with a
couple guys catching a few from a small area at the
lip of the farside ic earea. Single maggot or small
sucker spawn were the baits.
Don't expect much improvement until a real thaw and
opening of the mouth of the stream at the lakefront
to clear the ice. Til then--the ice guys will have
their day.
