Have you ever tried switch rods or even two handed rods for trout? If you haven't this is the year to do it. You'll find fishing the long rods will open up many more doors of opportunity for you during the fishing season. Did I mention big trout too? Shane Appleby, the new fly fishing guide at Glendorn working with me in activities is a master on the Allegheny River fishing spey rods rigged with Skagit lines, swinging for big trout. Check out the Crocodile he caught yesterday. The fishing season is on check back for more trout and spring steelhead reports soon.

Warm sunny days, slow run off, low clear water is stirring up some great early season fishing on the Clarion river and the Allegheny. We did a short float yesterday, with the new raft we are going to use on the Catt., and managed a few fish with Shane tackling this nice brown. The season is here and we look forward to meeting you on the river.
