Fishing Around The North Hills of Pittsburgh

Here are some photos of our summer fishing trips around the North Hills of Pittsburgh. From the creek outside of the Ice Rink at North Park that leads to Lake Marshall, the pond at Marshall Elementary School and a few nice fishing holes on Pine Creek we had a few great trips.

-A River Runs Through It

Poets talk about "spots of time," but it is really fishermen who experience eternity compressed into a moment. No one can tell what a spot of time is until suddenly the whole world is a fish and the fish is gone. I shall remember that S.O.B. forever.

One reason Paul caught more fish than anyone else was that he had his flies in the water more than anyone else. "Brother," he would say, "there are no flying fish in Montana. Out here, you can't catch fish with your flies in the air."

Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go.
