    Perfect "bachelor" set up assuming you went alone. A bad day fishing is better than a good day working.

    What part of Pennsylvania are you in? And what type of flies were you using?

    The lake I was at is in Sullivan county Hunter's run lake it is managed by the fish commission it has a real nice boat launch electric motor only and the flies were wooly bugger and a pattern that resembles a grub and some other mystery patterns (I am still learning fly fishing ) most of my fishing is spin fishing

    I only have one year of fly fishing and fly tying experience myself. I finally caught my first brown trout and it was the first fish on a fly i made myself. That was really a great experience. The lake at the Altoona GTG had some beautiful fish in it. signal-2025-06-22-10-50-38-979-2.jpg 20250621_211555.jpg 20250622_081148.jpg
