PA Trout Season 2013: Search & Destroy

April 1, 2013

Pennsylvania plays host to more than 86,000 miles of streams and rivers and boasts some of the best trout fishing in the world. The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (PFBC) sold 736,867 Resident licenses in 2012. Clearly fishing in Pennsylvania is alive and well. Pennsylvania residents pursue many different species of fish all across the Commonwealth but no fish is targeted […]

Spring Ridge Club’s Spruce Creek Slammin’

June 27, 2012

Few Fisherman are lucky enough to grace the banks of Pennsylvania’s famed Limestone creeks that make up the Spring Ridge Club’s trophy fly fishing waters. That’s why I was thrilled to accept an invitation from Spring Ridge Club Member and Team Surra Outdoors friend, Glenn Williard, for a fun-filled day of world class fly fishing at Pennsylvania’s premier fly fishing destination. The Limestone creeks make […]

The Ultima Experience: Erie’s Spring Steelhead Run

March 30, 2012

Many people believe that the Lake Erie Steelhead take part in an annual ritual lasting from fall through the spring as they return to the tributaries of the big Lake for the spawning season and while the steelhead season may last from fall to spring there are actually two completely separate runs. One in the fall and […]

Getting Started: Trout Season 2012

March 5, 2012

While leaving for work this morning I said to my wife, “It smells like fishing season!” to which she responded, “That’s because it’s not even a month away”.

Winter in Steelhead Alley

January 15, 2012

If you haven’ t been fishing for Steelhead on the tributaries of Lake Erie then I highly recommend planning a trip to the world’s greatest fishery before April and the steelies head back to the deeper water of the big lake. In my opinion, nothing matches the satisfaction of landing your first big chromer with a couple of inches of snow […]

Freedom Hunters by Ottie Snyder

November 22, 2011

(Editors note: I have known Ottie Snyder for roughly ten years. Without his commentary on ‘Why Andy should keep a hunting journal” then Team Surra Outdoors may not exist today. In my opinion, anyone who can get my Dad to stop thinking like a rifle hunter and start thinking like a bow hunter while archery hunting deserves serious recognition for […]

Hopefully by now you may have seen or perhaps heard about my current Straight Talk article in the January/February edition of the Pennsylvania Angler and Boater magazine called Highway Robbery.

Lake Ogascanan Walleye

August 3, 2011

Six years ago, my best friend Josh and I were single college grads with dreams of traveling each summer to a different remote locale in pursuit of world class game and fish. The objective was to do it all before we had families and responsibilities that we assumed would keep us at home; catch monster […]
