Most of my friends and colleqgues will tell you the fishing in PA is just fine...my experience has been less satisfying. Seems I was the most successful at fishing when I was living on a teachers' salary in Maine...it became REAL important to be successful. Now I just like the quiet and the casting and retreaving...maybe I'm not serious enough. Still, you should come to PA and go fishing...because fishing is good. and you should get a new canoe, because canoes are good. -jc
