Go VOTE!

November 3, 2020 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 2 Comments

It's a nice fall day here in the upper mid-west. I think most of the country is experiencing good weather on election day, 2020. So there's no excuse - make sure you get out and exercise your American right to vote. Our club is a non-partisan organization, so all we want to do is encourage … Continue reading Go VOTE!

Fall Francis Journey

October 24, 2020 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 5 Comments

One of my favorite places to fish is up Francis Branch, normally. This is anything but a normal year though isn't it? There is so little water which makes fishing exceptionally tough. The approach is everything when it comes to these conditions. One must not just take your time, you must slow down in order … Continue reading Fall Francis Journey

There Should Be A Book Titled “Midge Madness”

October 21, 2020 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 2 Comments

This will be a short post folks! It was a warm day in Slate Run. A little warmer than seasonable - mid to upper 70's. Mid to upper 70s (my screwy dial thermometer said 80!) Fall Day in Slate Run I've been skunked the past two times out on Pine Creek and I was starting … Continue reading There Should Be A Book Titled “Midge Madness”

Not a Fishing Post – A Trip to Emporium

October 20, 2020 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 2 Comments

I like reading about local history. I've gotten a few books at home and am always in search of a new one (new to me). I found a title, and did a little research which helped me locate a reprint which are much more affordable than first editions. I located one at the Cameron County … Continue reading Not a Fishing Post – A Trip to Emporium

Ruth Will Hike and Fall Fishing

October 2, 2020 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 6 Comments

Ruth Will We've been here for a week. We've walked, biked and drove around. A coupe of days ago we found an easy trail to hike - the Ruth Will trail over off route 44. It's about a three mile long hike. With a beautiful day of temperatures hovering in the low 60s, we headed … Continue reading Ruth Will Hike and Fall Fishing

Early Fall, East of the Algerine

September 28, 2020 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 5 Comments

Yes, we are a fly fishing club but the waters are so low in the runs and on Pine, that hiking is a good way to spend some time in the woods and get or keep in shape to do all the hiking while fishing the runs. So, take a hike! Literally. Harry wanted to … Continue reading Early Fall, East of the Algerine

Last Brookie Of Summer

September 6, 2020 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 4 Comments

I have been on the Rail to Trails and fishing over the past two days. I've seen quite an assortment of wildlife as a result - seeing more rattlesnakes than I've seen probably in the last 20 years! First, I heard from my neighbor say that he saw one crossing Pine Creek about a week … Continue reading Last Brookie Of Summer

The Algerine Swamp Natural Area

September 5, 2020 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 4 Comments

My friend Harry stopped in today. I've been fishing with him since the mid-1980s. The water has been so low for so long that we thought it best to not go fishing. So he said he was going to go hiking up in the Algerine Swamp Natural Area. We talked about this for a little … Continue reading The Algerine Swamp Natural Area

Meteorological or Astronomical… Fall?

September 2, 2020 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 4 Comments

I've been back in Slate Run now for a few days and have things pretty much caught up. So I decided to take a drive up into the mountains. We recently got a new (one year old) vehicle and I thought I'd break it in by driving up to Cushman Vista. Just as a I … Continue reading Meteorological or Astronomical… Fall?

Remote Places, Cool Waters, and Long Hikes

August 19, 2020 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 3 Comments

We've all read the stories of the guys that look at topo maps, (ok, so I'm a little dated here, get over it) - alright, or their iPhones, and they find these obscure trickles of water. They go hiking miles to get a chance at catching Brookies in very remote places. That's about what it … Continue reading Remote Places, Cool Waters, and Long Hikes
