Fly Fishing Fail...

    Hey everybody, it was a slow day out on the water today. Adam and I (Vinny) went for a fly fishing trip on the Slippery Rock Creek in Western PA. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission recently stocked the creek with brown and rainbow trout on Thursday, March 26. I knew that due to the recent stocking that there would be an abundance of fish in the creek.
    Recently, I began tying my own flies so I was eager to try them out... Today just wasn't our day though. We tried everything from dry flies and nymphs to streamers and worms with nothing producing fish. Freshly stocked trout are harder to catch with flies and other imitations because they aren't used to feeding on those kind of creatures yet. This week for our weekly upload on YouTube, we will be recapping our awesome ice fishing season! So go check out our new video and don't forget to like and subscribe to our channel!

New "GoPro" mounts

    Today, I (Adam) decided to build some easy do it yourself "GoPro" mounts. The reason I put GoPro in quotation marks is because we use an SJ400 instead of a GoPro. The SJ400 is the same thing as a GoPro when it comes to quality and versatility. By getting an SJ4000, we got the same as we would for a GoPro but for a lot less money.
    Anyways, I built a floating tripod mount and a 3.5 foot pole mount today.

    Each of these mounts were made using 1/2" PVC pipe. The floating mount also required a pool noodle which enables it to float. I also spray painted the PVC black so they'do look better. We can't wait to try these mounts out in our future videos, so stay tuned! Until next time, stay hooked!

Preseason Trout Fishing!

Hey guys! We just wanted to fill everyone in on our fishing adventure today. Today, we went to the Zelienople Harmony Sportsman's Club and had a good afternoon! We were able to land 8 nice fish. Adam ended up landing six fish, and I,(Vinny), landed two while missing three. Although I did hook into the biggest fish of the day, a 20+ inch rainbow!




                                                       All of the fish that we managed to land were decent size, and somehow we were able to get most of them on film. If you haven't yet go check our YouTube channel and you will get to see the beginning of our open water adventures for 2015.

Shenango Dam soon... Hopefully

    It's finally starting to warm up here in Western Pennsylvania, which means open water fishing is just around the corner! We're hoping to head up to Sharpsville and fish Shenango Dam as soon as we can. A friend of ours recently went up to the Dam on March 16th. When he got there they only had three slouses (gates) open to 1 foot each. These were perfect conditions for getting into some fish! He caught 4 trout and 2 walleye in about an hour then a siren went off, announcing a rise of water was about to come. All at once they opened every gate to their maximum level which flooded the area with the water rising. After this raise, the fish stopped biting... Hopefully the water will lower soon so we can get up there and get into some trout, walleye and maybe even a Muskie! Stay tuned to our YouTube for the action!
