December has been a wash-out, literally. No guide trips due to high water this entire month and it looks like my season is a wrap.

I had hoped to hit the 50 "casting fish" mark again this year but will have to settle for 47 muskies out of 81 musky trips. We did hit 4 other "trolling" fish and 3 of those 4 were without clients. We hit (and finally landed) our first 50+ inch river fish back in May. The smallest fish we caught was 31 inches, if my memory serves me and 36 of the 47 fish were 39 inches or longer which was a very nice statistic to see.

All of my trolling trips on Tionesta were cancelled due to excessive water temps.

Thanks to all of you who hit the river with me this past season!
