Trout Unlimited Smoker By Kenneth Crawford

We resurrected an event that PWWTU used to hold in years past. A small group of us got together for a Smoker on December 19, 2013, at Jergels Rhythm Grille in Warrendale to enjoy a few beers, smoke a few cigars, tell fish stories, and watch the Pens beat the Rangers in a shoot-out. Keep on the lookout for future events such as this throughout the year.

Allegheny Fly Tying Allegheny Fly Tying By Bobby Heil, Jr. By Bobby Heil, Jr.

Happy Holidays to all fellow fly tiers from Allegheny Fly Tyers! We have completed beginning classes at both Gander Mountain & International Angler and have also expanded into an Intermediate class at Gander Mountain this Fall. We have successfully taught a total of 15 individuals which were all given their certificates of achievement at the end of the sessions. Beginning & Intermediate tyers tied for a total of ten weeks. The beginning class at International Anglers enjoyed their class so much that we are starting an Intermediate Class on December 5th, 2013. Cost to each student is going to be $25.00. So far, all six students from the beginning class will participate. The Intermediate Class at International Angler runs for 8 weeks and will be held every Thursday night starting at 6:30 PM. We are all looking forward to tying some interesting patterns in this Intermediate class. A special thanks to both Gander Mountain & International Angler for their continued support of all our classes. Without their support, it would be very difficult to have the quality of classes that are given at each location. Thanks again for your commitment to assure that we are putting on a quality tying program. Mark your calendars for the first Tuesday & Thursday in the month of February 2014 when we start the beginning classes at both Gander Mountain & International Angler. Gander Mountain classes will be on Tuesdays & International Angler's class will be begin on Thursdays; both classes will run ten weeks. In order for us to expand this program any further we need more teachers. We are looking for volunteers to assist us in teaching these classes. If you are interested in helping, give Vic Ball (412) 655-3337 or Bob Heil, Jr (412) 387-6037 a call to sign-up. If you don't have the time to help out with the classes, order a hat, a t-shirt, or sweat shirt from Vic Ball. Hats sell for $18.00/each, t-shirts are $12.00/each, and sweatshirts sell for $30.00/each. All proceeds are used to buy hooks, materials, and fly tying kits to run the class. Think of the students and what they can achieve with your small donation. It is money well-spent.

Until the next newsletter, keep on tying, fishing, and enjoying life!

PostPost--Gazette Erie Steelhead Trip Gazette Erie Steelhead Trip By Ron Milavec

In August of 2013, I took John Hayes, PG Outdoors Editor, on a walleye fishing trip on my boat. He said that he was thinking about planning an educational bus trip to the Erie streams for steelhead. He asked me if I thought that he could get enough participation for the PG to sponsor the trip. I said that I was doubtful because the PWWTU spring trip to Fisher-man’s Paradise had been cancelled due to lack of participation. John proceeded with the planning and announced the trip in mid-October. To my surprise, it sold out in less than two weeks. With John Hayes and his father, John G. Hayes, there were fifty-one students, myself and three other PWWTU fishing coaches (Peter Ten Eyck, Christian Shane & Bobby Heil, Jr.) headed to Erie for a day of steelheading.

In John’s words, the trip was “More than a bus ride to Erie, it was designed as an educational program with the goal of teaching both beginners and steelheading veterans to catch more fish, understand more about the animal and its habitat, and get away from the combat-fishing mentality common in the Erie tribs.”

A full day of activity was planned. John arranged for free parking in the Boulos Lot near the Post-Gazette. The bus left shortly after 6:00 a.m. and made a short rest stop in Grove City to change driv-ers. A workshop on steelhead fishing strategies and techniques was held on the bus. In addition, each participant was given copies of recent PG Steelhead articles. John Nagy, a noted steelhead guide and author, donated a copy of his latest publication

Steelheader’s Journal for each of the fishermen and fisherwomen (4 women made the trip). Also, each angler was given a selection of steelhead flies tied by John G Hayes and myself. George Douglas, Freshwater Hall of Fame inductee and editor of Kype magazine, donated a copy of his book The Fishing Gods. A drawing was held for the book and one of his videos was shown.

Upon arrival in the Erie area we met Chuck Murray, a PA Fishing and Boating biologist who manages the state’s steelhead program. We toured the Fair-view Fish Hatchery and Chuck showed us how they feed the smolts (young steelhead that will be stocked next spring) and also the fish runs where adult steelhead were readied for stripping of their eggs and milt. He then met us at the Trout Run lakeshore where they net the adult fish for the hatch-ery program. He netted several fish and was able to show us two brown trout; one raised by the 3CU Co-operative Hatchery (adipose fin clip) and the other raised by the PAF&B (ventral fin clip). Both fish were in the 20-22 inch range. Too bad that you can’t fish Trout Run as it is designated as nursery waters.

We then stopped at Trout Run Bait and Tackle (the former BAC) where owner Rich Gaurilof gave everyone a letter for 10% discount, good for the re-mainder of 2013. His new Fisherman’s Lounge area had just been opened and he had doughnuts, cof-fee, water and fresh smoked steelhead for us. He also offered several steelhead packages at a dis-count and donated egg sacks for everyone to use.

PG Erie Steelhead Trip PG Erie Steelhead Trip (Continued) By Ron Milavec

We then went to the Elk Creek Access Area in Erie Bluffs State Park where there was access for surf, spincast and fly fishing. Fortunately, the creek was not overly crowded that day. We broke up into 6 groups by type of fishing with one of the mentors assigned to each group. Bob Heil took his group upstream to the Route 5 underpass area and John Hayes’ group went downstream to the creek mouth area. The remaining groups spread out along both sides of the stream above and below the access ar-ea. Everyone fished hard from 11:30 am until 5:00 pm with limited success. Only four fish were landed and a half dozen others ‘long line released’. All in all, everyone said that they enjoyed the trip and would consider doing it again and even asked about the possibility of doing a charter trip on the lake. We stopped at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant in Mead-ville for dinner and arrived back in Pittsburgh at 9:45 pm.

Thanks to John Hayes for organizing the trip and doing all the arrangements. Thanks also to the

PWWTU mentors, Christian Shane, John G. Hayes, Bob Heil, Jr, and Peter Ten Eyck.

From the Tip of the Quill: From the Tip of the Quill: Screechin’ Old Woman Screechin’ Old Woman By Charles Cantella

Once, not long ago, I found myself sharing a stream with a fellow I thought was my friend, but on looking back now I can’t quite be sure if he was indeed my friend. You see, in better times, he and I had gone on a fishing expedition some distance from our homes, so it was necessary to pair up to share living quarters. He and I were roommates for the duration of the trip, and as such his fishing gear and mine, were very much accessible to each other.

At some point toward the end of our excursion the friend in question began making comments about my ancient reel. Admittedly it was an older model, but being an older model myself, it suited me just fine. But he complained that the screeching of my classic reel didn’t allow him to concentrate on his own fishing. I believe his exact words were “That reel of yours screeches like an old woman”. To which I replied that perhaps if he were capable of hooking into a fish big enough to actually make his reel screech he wouldn’t have so much obvious disdain for mine.

I didn’t realize the repercussions of my words until I returned home from that trip and found that everything was in place save for my trusty reel. Upon removing the rod from the case, I noticed that the burnished wood reel seat where my reel had previously resided now sat bare. I obviously can’t prove it was he who took the reel. But who else could it be? A common thief would more likely target pricier reels than my bargain basement model. What drives a man to steal another man’s reel? Especially one that he has no obvious inclination toward? But to steal a reel that you adamantly despise makes absolutely no sense to me. But who else could have absconded with it?

Anyway, I was with this fellow, and we were starting to fish a relatively long, slow pool of a stream we both know well. I had since gotten myself a new reel; one that the smooth talking salesman assured me would purr like a kitten and not screech like an old woman, should I tie into a large fish. Yet I was still curious if it was indeed my friend, who took my reel. (Continued on Page 14)

(Pictures by Ron Milavec)


(Continued from Page 13)

Nonchalantly, he asked if we should perhaps make a bet on who catches the most fish. Loser had to buy the win-ner a sandwich, or donut, or candy bar or some other such fare at the roadside convenience store on the way home; I concurred. I normally don’t count the number of fish I catch because it’s simply not that important. No one will read about it in the paper tomorrow if I catch two or if I catch ten. To me, the number of fish caught is not an important measure of success. But since I was trying to draw him out and see if I could elicit more information about my missing reel, I went along with it.

We had been fishing within sight of each other all evening with the enormity of the bet hovering over us. We each made sure the other saw us whenever we landed a fish. The evening was winding down and we met at a midstream island where we had stashed our gear.

“How’d you do?” He asked. “Got two chubs and a trout. You?” “Got three trout! Looks like you’re buying!” “Hold on there, fella. We each got three fish. The bet was for the number of fish, not the number of trout!”

We got into a heated debate over the trout versus chub issue when I recalled having a copy of Sparse Grey Hackle’s Fishless Days, Angling Nights in my back pack.(Author’s note: Nerds such as myself frequently carry reading material with us, ‘to pass the time’ if we run into a lull in our lives. The lull never seems to materialize, yet the book remains). As I rummaged around for the book, he went back to casting.

When I found the book and the page I needed, I called out, “Let’s just see what that ol’ pillar of fishing literature, that bastion of all that is good and right about fly fishing, Mr. Hackle, has to say about the subject at hand and we’ll leave it at that.”

I went on to read from his short story, Chance Meeting: “Would you like to see my trout?” he asked, hauling a canvas creel from his car and drawing forth three small fish. Right then I faced a decision which I still wonder whether I made correctly. But as I see it, I had either to well-nigh break his heart then or let someone else do it later; I could just imagine him displaying his catch to the fishermen in the Antrim Lodge bar. “Look,” I said gently. “There is one mark by which you can always identify a trout. Every trout has it and no other fishes have,” and I explained about the adipose fin.” “What are these, then?” he asked. “Chub,” I told him, and I explained about chub.

“Then I suppose I might as well throw these away,” he said miserably, his happy day ruined. I did the best I could.” “Why did you come all the way up here just to go fishing?” I demanded. “It was to have fun wasn’t it?” “Yes; of course.” “Well, didn’t you have fun when you caught those fish?” “I certainly did!” he said firmly and even smiled for an in-stant at the recollection.” “Then you got what you came for; you had fun. And you learned something very im-

portant. You learned that it’s not fish that make the sport, but just catching them-or even just trying to catch them.”

“See?” I asked, “Even an esteemed writer like Mr. Hackle says trout and

chub are the same!”

“No he didn’t. He even said that he wasn’t sure if he made the right decision in telling the guy what he did tell him!”

So we arrived, via a circuitous route, back at a stalemate. But in the spirit of friendship, and the lack of an obvious official winner, we called off the bet. And as we doffed our wading gear, unstrung our rods, the tension between us thawed, and we threw good natured jabs back and forth. As I grabbed my wader bag, low and behold, out falls my old reel. Picking it up, I instantly remembered everything…. I had removed it to remind myself to clean the line and grease the gears. But being neither as young, nor as quick of mind as I once was, I had forgotten all about that. Mea culpa! As a way of apologizing, with-out ever actually admitting any wrong doing and for cast-ing dispersions toward my friend, I offered to buy snacks for the ride home.

Along the way home we continued to debate the whole trout versus chub rivalry. As for myself, I’m not sure ex-actly where I stand on the issue. After all chubs can be caught using the same flies and techniques we use to fool trout. They live in the same waters that trout do. And (in Pennsylvania anyway), the trout may or may not be na-tives, but the chubs sure as heck are.

(It is here that my story ends, but if you will indulge me one more paragraph please...)

FOR SALE: Older model fly reel. Has seen action. If it were furniture, it would be described as “distressed.” The line needs to be cleaned, better yet, replaced. And if you are successful into hooking a big fish, perhaps you can discern for yourself whether or not it sounds like an screechin’ old woman.
