Best shot at a trophy

[laurelhighlander]

Given the current conditions in Pa, what is the best species to target this weekend for a trophy fish, musky, browns, or smallies?

Carp

Think it’s all on what you want. Pretty much all species are active until water temps drop more. Not fly fishing but just got my pb catfish. Seen some big bass still hanging around shore. Muskie are hitting. Can get them trophy trout in Erie right now. Big panfish are out there.

What I want is a big musky, smallie, or brown on a streamer. Lake, river, or stream, on the water or on the bank or wade fishing

I carped all summer so I'm good on that

I know you said PA, but in terms of trophy hunting, a trip up to any of the Lake Ontario tribs for lake run browns is always worth a shot this time of year.

Yeah I want a big brown trout in a streamer but I feel like flows are too low where I’m at. Haven’t gotten into the Muskie game yet but I know I’ll get there eventually. Smallies are prob your best shot
