  • Fishing After Dark0

    Ken Hunter

    Why would anybody want to go fishing after dark? I’m an avid fisherman, but I’ll be honest, I’ve had no interest in heading out fishing these past couple of weeks due to the sweltering heat and intense sun. I can’t imagine sitting out in the middle of a lake in a boat with temperatures pushing

  • Summer Madness0

    Jamie Spencer

    I used to be a fan of summer, but I don’t do well with the heat. I am a big guy who tends to sweat, and I shouldn’t be allowed to wear my gray tees. The temperatures are getting close to 100 degrees. It’s miserable. The humidity is what kills me. Last week I was

    A Fishy Story0

    Jamie Spencer

    Before I begin, I need to chime in. Jensen experienced a minor mishap. Too good not to share with the general public. He’s fine. I wrote an epic poem that has gone viral. The photos helped describe Jensen’s attempt in the kitchen. I gave him an A for effort. The poor kid had a learning

  • The Unexpected0

    Ken Hunter

    I’ll be honest, every time I head out to a lake or stream for some fishing, I’ve pretty much decided what species of fish I intend to pursue. My reason for that approach is to choose the right equipment, lures and presentation to accomplish a successful trip. This approach is especially true when I plan

    On The Move for Crappies0

    Ken Hunter

    One of my favorite types of fishing is hitting the lakes for a variety of panfish, especially crappies. I like crappie fishing for several reasons, and one of the main reasons is that when you find feeding fish, the action can be constant and last for extended periods. Let’s be honest, fishing is a whole

    Stay Golden0

    Jamie Spencer

    I am very loyal to Lycoming Creek. It is where I do 94% of my fishing. There is no need to travel when you routinely catch fish. Backyard kids. I have successfully navigated its entire length. From her headwaters above Ralston to the mighty Susquehanna. Bodines to Camp Susque. The old airport and Powys. Haleeka

    As we are reminded by attending a local SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) gathering, as our country approaches its 250th celebration, baseball and sports in general hold a very special place in our community’s history. ‘Historic’ Bowman Field will be celebrating its 100th anniversary this summer. Eighty-eight years ago, Carl Stotz stumbled over a

  • Impediments to Successful Fishing0

    Ken Hunter

    You bet I like to fish, but I’ll be honest: it’s not just the act of fishing I enjoy; it’s the catching that I really like. It’s seeing and feeling that strike, then fighting that fish successfully to the net, that really makes fishing fun and exciting. The problem with fishing, however, is that there

    Rose Valley Lake continues to be a hot topic. I have entertained several rumors. They need to make some repairs. We have chatted back and forth for the past 3 years. Many new conversations of late. It looks like they will need to drain the entire lake. It takes time to secure the funds. Many

    I’m sure it’s no secret that I love to fish, and over the years I’ve pursued a lot of different species, and one of my favorites was northern pike. My fishing buddies and I made frequent trips to the St. Lawrence River in New York to pursue pike and for good reason — the pike

  • My Beards0

    Jamie Spencer

    I decided to shave. It was a valiant effort. Call it another midlife crisis. I was going for the Robert Redford. Trying to portray what he looked like in Jeremiah Johnson. Scruffy and rugged. I was seriously thinking about joining the bearded brethren. Needing to simplify. Get back to basics. Eliminate the stresses and electronic

    When you spend as much time on the water as I do, you always catch a few. And while some days are certainly better than others, you occasionally have those fantastic experiences. These episodes are extremely rare. I can count them on my fingers. Last night wasn’t one of them. No worries, sports fans. Jensen

    Obviously, we outdoor types pay close attention to opening days, especially the opening of trout season and the deer gun hunting season.

    The opening of another trout season is upon us, and needless to say, a lot of us are talking about heading out trout “fishing.” So why don’t we say we are going trout “catching”? Well, for good reason, because there are times when we hit the water and end up with no fish caught; we

    Ken Hunter

    I was talking to a buddy about ice fishing the other day, and he said he kept moving around on the lake, drilling over 30 holes trying to find some active fish. The fishing was generally poor until very late in the day when he finally began catching a decent number of fish. When he

    Ken Hunter

    How often have you been driving down the road and looked out the window and caught a glimpse of a big bird flying by, or you caught sight of a large bird perched in a tree? My first thought is whether that sighting was of a bald eagle; if not, what was it? A couple

    Well, this has certainly been a winter more like those years ago when it stayed cold, and we seemed to have plenty of snow. Except for that brief period of warmer, rainy weather earlier this winter, it has been a lot more like the cold, snowy winters of years past. The good news is that
