Hello fisherman, so the first big tagged tourney of the year has past. Congrats to the Bald Eagle Sportsman Club for putting on another fine tagged trout tourney this year. The weather was somewhat cooperative. The water conditions were not great but the dedicated fisherman found many of the tags. The last report I heard was that well over 50 percent of the tags were caught with the biggest one being 20 and 3/4 inches. I will have picture to load a little later. As for me I caught 10 the first day none with tags. The second day was a nice change of pace for my fiance caught her first tag at this tourney along with two others to end the day with 3 tags. I caught two tags on sunday with us leaving the tourney with 5 tags combines. Im glad the rain came in saturday it really helped the creek. As far as my friends went my one friend Rob caught a 16 1/2 inch Brownie that looks like a tank, his buddy Brandon caught the 16 inch Paly that was in creeks meet, Our other buddy Dave caught 4 tags the last we spoke with him. A shout out to my Buddy Bill who missed the tourney because his wife is in the hospital who is also my cousin, Hope you get well soon Colleen. The tourney was well run, and aside for the low water conditions it was a great tourney. Hats off to the Bald Eagle Sportsmans club. I had a blast made many new friends which always makes this tourney great. The food was good as always and a special thanks to Yeckleys Bait and Tackle for selling bait on the spot this year. There is alot of promise for this tourney to come and I feel everyone should try it, you will love it. Lots of fish, good friends and times that will be remembered always you can not beat this tourney guys. Now on to next week fisherman have a choice to make this weekend. You have the Spring Mills tourney on saturday and sunday on penns creek, you have the St Marys tourney in which they stock all Brownies in this sat and sunday, and you have the one day tagged tourney in Cassandra Pa between Lilly and Portage that benefits the Portage Vol Fire Company.
