    The definition of "trophy fish" is very relative, eh?
    Glad you got a few trophies.

    Hi Cold - Thanks for the great report on your trip. I have friends that live in Renovo, and spend the week before the PA Fish-In up there. We stay in a cabin on top of the mountain between YWC and the Kettle watershed. It's awesome! I feel right at home up there.



    That area has some incredible fishing. You can drive for DAYS on the dirt roads up there! Surprisingly, most of them were shown on my GPS - it doesn't differentiate between pavement and dirt. A lot of the "roads" don't have names - just SR numbers, if that.

    Two valleys over from YWC is the Pine Creek valley. That's where the PA Fish-In is held (Waterville). If you ever get the chance, try to come up for the Fish-In. There's a bunch of us that have spent many years crawling along the creeks up there. Pine Creek, Little Pine, Slate Run, and Cedar Run are a few of the better known waters.

    The only thing I've found that I don't like is the availability of gas stations up there. Not necessarily a bad thing, but one does have to fill up when near civilization! The price of gas in Renovo is outrageous....

    Beautiful country - IMHO, best in PA. I look forward to spending two weeks in a row up there every year. We have room for one more person in the cabin for the week before the PA Fish-In, and every year, I have a standing invitation open for any FAOL'er that wants to join us......

    Nice area for a Fish-In, don't ya think?

    Awesome story and photos. The only possible explanation for the very dark brookie would possibly be the bottom content of the pool he was taken in?
