Ha, sorry for the delay it’s been a busy week back at work. I did have a bit of luck, caught a couple of browns right behind my motel in Stroudsburg. I fished mainly Brodhead creek but until I could check into the motel I had to drag my dog (a Frenchy - not much of a fishing dog) everywhere I went and since it was too cold to take him with me I ended up leaving him in the car with the engine running and heat on. For obvious reasons this limited the spots I could fish to those where I had a line of sight to the car. I also stopped in at a great sporting goods store called Dunkelbergers. I highly recommend. Picked up some fishing gear there as well as a cheap used carbine to use for target practice at the new range that just opened near my house. All in all it was a good day. On my drive back I fished the Pequest river for the first time. What a beautiful trout stream it is! The water was super high and despite hitting up a few spots I didn’t have any more luck. Some pics of the brownies below.

Hey nice man! Those are some beautiful browns! Glad you had some luck out there. How was the motel? I might have to mimic your trip someday

To be honest, it was perfect. The best spot I found on Brodhead creek was a 5 minute hike from the back of the motel. It was cheap as hell, pet friendly, right off 80, and clean enough. I will def stay there again. The only part of my trip I don’t recommend replicating is my abysmal performance at the poker tables sat. Night. Mt. Airy casino is only 15-20 away from the motel and since I didn’t feel like sitting around by myself in a shitty motel sat. Night I hit the casino instead. Lost most of my money (I only brought $100 and left the ATM card at the motel) at the blackjack tables and the rest playing poker.

hey you win some and you lose some, id say thats a win since you caught some beautiful browns, saw some beautiful scenery and only lost $100 The Brodhead looks amazing, I haven't done much fishing outside of NJ so that will have to change in the new year!
