Warning to all Elk Creek Steel Head Fisherman:
This picture represents a rare shot of 3 generations of the most lethal, cunning and notorious steelhead fly fisherman to ever set foot on the Erie Tribs. They routinely take over holes and catch or burn every fish in sight with little or no remorse.
Thus, leaving behind a hole full of stunned and confused fish that had no idea what hit them. The fishing hole is worthless for days after this brutal onslaught. Any other fisherman seeing these four leaving or entering a hole should run the other way as fast as they can. The four can be heard shouting bone chilling phrases like – “We crushed them”, “I got a monster” “We busted them”, “I absolutely pounded those fish” “We beat that water to a froth” “The golden retriever is killing them” Apparently, they use some kind of killer dog in their onslaughts. The older one is apparently the leader of this pack and has been known to carry millions of flies. The youngest one looks harmless but he wields a 10 ft 7 wt fly rod like Zoro with lightning quick reflexes and is tireless in his methodical attacks.
If these four are ever sighted on an Erie Tributary don’t call us just pack up and move on and save yourselves.
and save yourselves.
