    Great day wading the Yough near Perryopolis First time so it took a while to figure things out a bit. My legs are jello but it was worth it.

    Finally got around to launching from Little Boston and fishing the section of the Yough, above it. Started off cold as hell, and the bass didnt wake up till 12:30, ...more as temps warmed. Still, only hooked into 2, and landed just this one, as the first one came off at the boat.
