THERE'S NO APP FOR THIS
John A. on the Allegheny.
Opening day of trout season is always a special time of the year
that is much anticipated and enjoyed, but not much can beat
having the steams to your self during May and June.
THANKS JOHN A.
John A. surprised us all with large live Maine lobster that he purchased
in the Strip District in Pittsburgh. This was definitely a 1st at trout camp
and the finest meal ever prepared there.
The menu included Rib-Eye steaks, Baked Potato, and asparagus
washed down with a few Straub American Ambers.
This meal will be hard to top anywhere.

16 1/2in BROWNIE
My friend John A. tied me a streamer and left it at camp for me try.
I am not a fly fisherman, by any means, but I took one day, and fished
that streamer exclusively. I ended up only catching 2 trout that day but
this one I will never forget.
LUNKER PALAMINOS
The Allegheny was kind by letting me hook and land these two.
16 1/2, and 18 1/2in. Palaminos
ALLEGHENY RIVER SUCCESS
Cuz Chuck G, Tom G. and myself had a great
morning fishing the Allegheny River on our last full day at camp.
SPOTTED SALAMANDER
This impressive amphibian was hanging around the well house when my cousin spotted him.
I thought it was going to be some rare specie with an exotic name.
I found out its called a Spotted Salamander, who would have thunk?
They are fairly common and live over 30 years living on insects and worms.
This one was an impressive 8 inches long.

OFF TO A GOOD START
Joe M. and John A. headed up to camp Wed. the 24th and started the day out on the right foot.
Joe landed this 16 in. Brook Trout on Potato Creek to start their morning fish.
Nice job guys !! From what I heard so far, fishing has been great.

NICE CATCH
Early in the week fishing was tough because of the high and discolored water,
but it definitively improved as the week progressed.
Here are 3 of the five that I caught one day during the week.
one 15 1/2in. Brookie, a 16 1/2in. Brookie and a 16 1/2in. Brown Trout.
Thanks to the Warrener brothers for helping me to land 2 of them.
WORKING UP AN APETITE
We had a good showing for the opening day Wing-Nite.
It started to rain so we all ended up in side camp to enjoy the spread.
135 wings, a pile of fries, macaroni salad, and multiple deserts were dealt out.
Doug and I worked together to come up with a garlic butter parmigian wing recipe
that was a big hit, along with the standard seasoned wings.
If we can only remember the recipe for the next time.

FISHMAS EVE
The day before trout season is always special.
We all have out little camp job traditions that help us prepare for the upcoming week.
Jim is in charge of making the English Muffins and Syrian Bread.
Doug favorite duty is frying up the camp supply of bacon in advance.
My job is preparing the entrees for the up coming wing night that we have
the evening of the opener.
A few beverages are also enjoyed during the day.

TYLER GETS TASED
I haven't blogged for a while because of health issues with my Aunt and her passing.
Earlier in the year, I had trouble posting this video because of its length, I Think that was the reason.
I decided to give it another try on my return from camp today and finally had success.
I will be posting more regularly now that trout season is here and I will have more time.
This video is a good reason for the saying.
"What goes on at camp, stays at camp"
I think I just blew it.
