Stream Report

I went out his weekend to hit the Erie tribs with some friends just to stretch my legs a little and to test out a new streamer pattern that I have playing around with. The creeks all looked very fishy and the water levels were just about perfect, all of the fish I caught were on hairballs and my new white sculpin pattern, nobody brought a camera so no pics sorry.
