    Congratulations to the Montoursville Warriors. The 2025 baseball team had an unforgettable season. They finished with a 20-5 record: a PIAA District IV chip and a trip to the PIAA AAAA state finals. The Warriors never backed down. They had their opportunities but were nipped 5-4 by a mighty Indiana, PA squad with several Division

  • June, the “Fishing” Month0

    Ken Hunter

    For us diehard fishing enthusiasts, every month of the year usually provides some kind of fishing opportunities; there’s hardly any month that I’m not involved in some kind of fishing on a lake, stream, or river. That being said, however, June is probably the month with some of the most fishing activity of the year.

  • Looking Back0

    Scott Lowery

    H.G. Wells’s 1895 science fiction novel Time Machine has been much scrutinized and talked about over the years. The work suggested a concept of time travel using a device to travel purposely forward or backward through time. Not being a Wells fan or proponent of the notion, I have previously never paid any attention to

  • County Hall Corner: Look Who’s Coming to Town0

    Larry Stout

    It is rare to see a Lycoming County Board of Commissioners Meeting that was as excited and joyous as the one on Thursday, June 5th. If a county government were a family, this meeting would be like opening the presents on Christmas Day. I knew something pretty big was about to happen when I watched

  • The Roving Sportsman… Summer Is Finally Here!0

    Jon Pries

    I fondly recall my early years growing up in northern Lycoming County. Hours upon untold hours were spent outside — fishing, hunting, hiking, exploring, and watching the wonders of nature unfold time and time again. Great memories were formulated, and it was a very healthy environment to spend those youthful years. No cell phone. No

  • What’s My Line?0

    Ken Hunter

    There’s not much question about it, when it comes to fishing, probably the most common topic is what lure did you use to catch fish? Indeed, lure presentation is an important part of a successful outing, as is the right size and type of rods and reels being utilized. All too often, however, we seem

    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 once-in-a-lifetime experiences. These nights are extremely rare. I can count them on my fingers. Last evening was not one to remember. I

    Tim Hartzell

    When you look at the man in the mirror, what do you see? When I look first thing in the morning, I see a guy who desperately needs a cup of coffee. A shower and shave wouldn’t hurt either. The mirror on the wall isn’t the only one a man must consider. There are mirrors

    Hats off to my friends at the Lycoming Creek Anglers. I give them lots of credit. These guys and gals make our fishing experiences much more splendid. Yes. We have battled some rain and high waters, but this spring has been fantastic. We are so spoiled. I finally snuck out for a few casts. I

    When you look at the title of this story, you would think I’m talking about some of the lousy, rainy weather we’ve been dealing with this spring, but I’m actually referring to something positive.

    I have seen many baseball venues — larger-than-life professional ball fields to stunning Little League complexes. I once waved a Homer Hankie in the Metrodome. A left-handed friend of ours pitched at Memorial. I almost caught a fly ball at Dodgers Stadium. I used to hang out on the bank to catch the games at

    Ken Hunter

    I was doing some target shooting the other day, and missing the target is not something we want to have happen. We know what we’re after and what we want to see when target shooting, and surprises are generally not a welcome sight. However, missing the target can sometimes be a welcomed surprise when it

  • What or How?0

    Ken Hunter

    How many times have you been out on a trout stream and seen someone netting trout regularly? When we see someone hooking up pretty consistently, the first question that probably comes to mind is, “What are you using?” In my early days of trout fishing, I watched the guy who taught me the art of

    This weather lately has been absolutely incredible. If the temps could be like this all summer, I would absolutely love it. My upper lip has been pretty tame so far, and if it could keep it up, that would be great. *Insert cheesy smile here* I had a memory flashback this week, and it was

    Have you been fishing? My bearded friends ask, but unfortunately, the answer is no. They are quite puzzled, as I have been busy with Warrior Golf.

    How often have you been driving down the road past that dead deer you saw lying at the edge of the highway and spotted a couple of turkey vultures feasting on the deer remains? If you don’t see vultures feasting on the deer or other carrion, you are likely to spot them perched in a

    The news spread like a fire. The Community Arts Center got the nod. Bob Dylan was to perform in Williamsport on April 22. Tickets went on sale the first week of February.

    It appears spring has finally arrived; the dogwoods are flowering, and those little green buds are turning into leaves. For us fishing enthusiasts, this creates a real problem, especially if you pursue a variety of fish.

    Two thousand eight hundred and seventy-four. I’ve been collecting weird vocabulary for roughly 20 years — culled from reading in books and articles, along with the occasional oddity in conversation, from Jeopardy or on the internet. (And sometimes, I just go fishing in one of my hard-copy dictionaries.) As you may have guessed, my list
