Good Start to the 2023 Pittsburgh Creekside Fishing Season
Spent the afternoon on Pine Creek near North Park Lake. Plenty of trout swimming around - a bit stubborn - but I managed to catch and release two rainbows. I had another jump and shake the hook - so that one doesn't tally up. Lots of carp/creek chubs /suckers in the water as well. All the trout were caught on Panther Martin Spinners.

Fall Carp On Pine Creek in North Hills of Pittsburgh
Picked a great early fall day for a Friday afternoon escape on Pine Creek. I caught and released a few small smallmouth and largemouth bass but hooked into the this reel screamer of a carp. Danced with this 30 inch creek carp for about 10 minute as it unreeled some line - time after time. Finally tired it out and beached it - beautiful fish.

Trout on Pine Creek, North Park, Pittsburgh
I spent the day on Pine Creek and played catch and release with two rainbow trout and a smallmouth bass. The recent torrential wet weather created some huge tree downfall which will most likely add more productive fishing holes and deep pockets in the creek. Should make for a good summer of fishing.
Lure: Black and Yellow Spotted Panther Martin Spinner
