A little Intro

[Mark Hanes]

I thought with all the newer members this would be a good time to say a little about myself.

I live in NW PA and have fished her since I was 5.  I have been fly fishing for 17 years and recently i have been fishing 100 to 200 days a year. 

My home waters are all around the Allegheny National Forest where  I search search for native brook trout or chase after lunker browns in the Clarion River.  I enjoy fly tying and I pride myself on coming up with new and simple patterns to catch trout. 

I have been on this site from about the beginning and it is nice to see we are attracting some great fisherman that really bring a lot to the table.  Hopefully I will get to meet some of you as I plan on venturing into the world of competitive fishing in the coming years.

That is just a little about me.

Do you like long walks on the beach too ?   

Mark's been here since we opened the doors on this little ramshackle angling roadhouse.  Glad to have you as a partner and contributor in this endeavor.

So, when's a good time to go chasing some of those big Clarion Browns bud?

After the Spawn!! LOL Feburary and March are usually good months.  I know some local spots that tend to fish ok.
