I went to Little Buffalo today, long stick in hand, but got blown around by the wind. Sooo, I decided to walk the creek and see the stocking handy work of our PFBC. I apologize for the lack of a polarized filter. I will remedy that shortcoming right quick. Enjoy the pics:

I need a bigger boat than my 14 foot canoe to tangle with this thing’s family members:

Tuscarora Mountain. At one time the Appalachians rivaled the Himalayas in height:

Hope you all enjoyed the essay of my day off as much as I enjoyed shooting the pictures and being outdoors.
Nice pics! Hope to see some more soon!
Eric,
Posting pictures like that makes me homesick! I especially liked the one of Tuscarora Mountain. The trout photo’s were nice. Looks like the Fish Commission had a few Palomino’s to stock out your way? Thanks for the reminder of Home. We’re heading back to Somerset this weekend so I enjoyed the preview.
Eric, thank you, for “pulling me out of my ruined day’s fishing with Sam slump”… by posting some really great pictures of your area!! Don’t worry, about the polarized filter! Heck, even an antique like me, can plainly see those are some of those “fish things” all of us are always after!
I had a like day, all planned today as well. Last night, Sam and I loaded “The Turtle”, (My Dodge Grand Caravan), with gear, cooler and “needed necessities”, to drive down the coast to a good bass lake I wished Sammy to try.
Woke up, this AM, early to get an early start and THE SNOW FALLING outside killed the day’s plans ASAP!! It’s not SUPPOSED to SNOW AT THE BEACH!!
"Beach= sand, surf, waves, sun, bikinis, flip flops?? No, SNOW and has lasted all day, today!?!
So, your beautiful pictures really were a joy!!
(I’d also consider MORE than just “a larger boat”, when going after that Muskie’s kin!?! Maybe a baseball bat, side arm, chain mail gloves???)
Eric -
Very nice photos. Hopefully the wind will cooperate next time you get out, then we’ll get to see some fish in hand photos, right ??
John
Eric,
Thanks for the nice photos!
Doug
I really enjoy scenery shots…always interesting to see another’s home ground.
Thanks man.
I which I was back home in PA.
That view from your house looks might familar. If I had to guess I’d say you lilved along Rt 147 or 225. Traveled those road many times from Hburg to Wmsport. I still take those roads when I home. Prefer them over Rt 11.
Eric, as others have said, thanks for the pics of back home. As a fellow Perry Countyite it is nice to see pics of Buffalo State Park. I have more than a few days on the ice there. I know that the fishing on my old home stream is going nuts about now with the early black stones. Hopefully you will get to catch one for me.
PG Flyfisher,
Liverpool is on the west shore of the Susquehanna along Routes 11&15. Next time you are going to be in the area give me a heads up. Even if we don’t fish we can meet for a sandwich and shoot the breeze.
Paul,
Sorry your day got spoiled. You were there with me buddy in spirit and you will be with me on the trout stream for our season opener on Saturday. I will be thinking of you.
Thanks to all for the great comments. I am glad I was able to bring a little touch of the happiness of a warm spring day into your hearts!
flybop,
Thanks and I will do my beast to catch one for you. You know the hatches here very well. I could have sworn that I also saw caddis flies coming off the other day. No mosquitoes yet but lots of little black midges too.
More pictures of Little Buffalo for you:
The view from my office window is of a parking lot. Thank for giving me something nice to look at.
Heres some

Eric,
Nice pictures…Methinks you’ll have a bearded little Ohio Irishman on your doorstep at some point this year!

John,
Cool pics! I am a Grove City boy and used to live in Harrisville. My grandma was a Grossman, married name was Stokes. One of my brothers lives on Grubb road up by Moniteau and The Glade Run Lake. Were those shots taken on the Slippery Rock Creek?
Mike,
Just say when. Our hearts and home are always open to you and Colleen. There is a lot of stuff to do and see. Of course, there is a lot of top notch cold and warm water fishing too.
Eric,
We will definitely set it up. Right now I’m getting ready for my Virginia trip in April with Grubb, Dotman & (hopefully) others. Then it’s the Michigan Fish-In in late June/early July, although most likely NOT the whole week. We’ll talk soon to arrange a trip out your way.
Mike
Forgot you live in Liverpool - just a ferry ride away from Millersburg.
I’ll give you a shout the next time I am passing through the area. Thanks for the invite! Haven’t done much fishing on that side of the river. Mayber we will have an opportunity to fish together.
Eric
Awesome pictures man, I have not been out fishing since getting my Pup "Fischer, and Ann’s Pup Thor. Going for a camping trip with our FFing club 18-20 Apr, hope to post some pics then.
take care man…
