Greetings from SE PA

[BucksBasser]

Long time lurker.

Finally joined.

I'm in Bucks Cty but my family is from central PA so I fish there as well.

I usually start the season fly fishing, mainly for trout.

Last year targeting trout I hooked and landed my PB smallie of 3 lbs on Tohickan Creek near the mouth at the Delaware.

My parents used to live a few miles from Penns Creek.

They are now gone but I have a brother near state college so I still get up there a lot.

 

Then once the boat ramps are in I move to bass on various lakes.

Mainly Nockamixon in Bucks or Sayers in central PA.

 

I fish the lakes in both kayaks and my 17' fishing boat.

 

Now that I'm retired my goal is 100 days on the water in 2024.

 

My PB LM is an 8 lber I landed in a farm pond in NJ.  Unfortunately this is now a development and the pond is gone.

PB smallie from Lake Erie at 6 lbs.

 

I'm also a fly tyer and now experimenting on building my own crankbaits.

Hi, BucksBasser. I admire your range, from a kayak to a 17-footer and from trout streams to Erie to bass lakes. I also admire this:

Hi from the Sunshine State of Florida…… I think I cut my teeth on trout fishing.

Welcome to Bass Resource!

Welcome,  I'm also from SE PA.  I've fished both Nockamixon and the Tohickon over the years.  Like you I start off the season fly fishing for trout, but I don't put the fly rod down when the weather warms up. Mostly I fish the Wissahickon since it's close to me or head up to the Poconos and fish the lakes and ponds there.

Welcome aboard! 🤙🏻

If you fish Nockamixon - you should join the club Nock Mafia. It's a great club!

Thanks for the tip.
