    Fishing Derby0

    Jamie Spencer

    I am always looking for an outdoor adventure. This past Wednesday, I headed north for something new and exciting. It was a gorgeous morning outside of Bodines, PA. My gear was in the car, but there were no plans of fishing. I met up with a few friends along Slack’s Run Road. I wanted to

  • Fly Fishing: Yes, You Can Do It0

    Ken Hunter

    Over the past few years, I’ve run into more and more people who want to learn to fly fish, and I’ve had the opportunity to teach a number of newcomers the art of fly fishing. I hesitate, however, to use the word “art” to describe fly fishing simply because it’s no more of an art

  • Tough Decision0

    Jamie Spencer

    I mentioned to some that I was on the fence about returning. And after a little break. I made the decision. I recently stepped down at St. John Neumann. Look. I had a great run. But it is now time to focus on far more important things. Many folks will question, and I totally get

    I’ve been reading a book entitled Sentinels of the Susquehanna, by a friend and local writer, John Zaktansky. John is the executive director of the Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association, an organization devoted to protecting 11,000 square miles of land that drains into the North and West Branches of the Susquehanna. The first couple of chapters

    With spring in full swing, many folks are thinking ahead to summer and upcoming vacations. We have two trips on the calendar this year, a week in Colorado and a few days in a cabin creek-side here in PA. Both trips will be heavy on outdoor activities, with hopefully a chance to unplug and unwind.

  • What Depth?0

    Ken Hunter

    There are a lot of factors that are a part of a successful fishing outing, and it’s not just what bait or lure you are offering but where and how you present it. In this piece, I’m referring more to the warm water species like panfish and bass, particularly when fishing lakes and ponds. We

    Jamie Spencer

    The St John Neumann Golden Knights had an amazing year on the hardwood. My phone continues to ring, and we are still trending. Everywhere we go. Someone will always extend a hand and want to talk basketball — even a month after the season. It is beautiful. Last week, Senator Gene Yaw stopped by to

    Jamie Spencer

    This week’s write-up has very little to do with sports. I only wanted to give my boys a quick shout. My full-time gig is with Susquehanna Marble and Granite. Yes. There is never a dull moment. My fellow work chums say that I am a liability. Rocks are heavy. I am not the strongest guy,

  • Fish on Top0

    Ken Hunter

    With the early start this year, trout season is well underway, but with the erratic weather conditions we have seen the past few weeks getting on the water may have been a bit of a challenge. Rain, snow, high, murky water, and strong winds have all added up to some difficult fishing conditions. Of course,

    Fishing has always been a passion, and I take full advantage of what North Central PA has to offer. I am on the water an awful lot and usually head out after supper. Now that the basketball season is over, that is where you can find me. Some of my favorite spots are just a

  • Record Fish, Anybody?0

    Ken Hunter

    I’d be the first to admit that when I go fishing, my intent is not to catch a record fish but rather to have fun doing something I really enjoy — fishing. That being said, it certainly is a nice surprise once in a while to catch a really nice fish, and the bigger ones,

    George Daniel is a bug chucking legend. My man has written several books and has appeared on many covers. He is extremely well known within the fly-fishing community.

    It’s No Secret; Minnows Catch Trout0

    Ken Hunter

    As the title of this piece indicates, for those who trout fish, minnows are a top producer when it comes to trout fishing. It’s a well-known fact that all trout feed on smaller fish or minnows, so it makes good sense to utilize such bait when fishing for trout. Because minnows are such good trout

    After all those severe thunderstorms rolled through last week, it was time for me to write my column.

    So, what is the best presentation on the upcoming opening day of our statewide trout season? Well, to be honest, I really don’t know the answer to that question, but before we get into that, there are other scenarios that should be factored in before heading out.

    Many times, our military veterans who serve our country courageously, may not bear the physical scars of battle. Many may instead, have unseen psychological scars that dog them from things they have seen or experienced during their service. There is an organization and recreational facility called Hyner Lodge in nearby Clinton County, in the area

    A couple of weeks ago, my fishing buddies and I were still talking about ice fishing on several area lakes but with the recent higher temperatures and rainfall, that all came to a rather sudden end. For us diehard fishermen, however, the change in weather simply means a change in tactics and gear because fishing

    A Beagle Can Lead to More Rabbits0

    Ken Hunter

    When I started to hunt rabbits as a high-school kid, I remember that I would take my old single barrel H&R sixteen gauge and head out to a friend’s farm. We didn’t own a dog, so I just worked my way through field edges and along brushy tree lines kicking brush and watching for running

    As most of you know, I’m an early riser. Many of my mornings begin at one of our local eateries with a cup of coffee, a glass of water, and sometimes breakfast. I think it’s very important to get out and about in this world we live in. To have a routine that includes socializing

    Judging from the numbers of people I see on the ice these days, it appears that ice-fishing is a growing winter activity. Not only is ice-fishing an enjoyable way to spend a day, but it is also, as the title of this story suggests, an opportunity to put some delicious food on the table. Now

  • Soft Plastics Revolutionized Fishing0

    Ken Hunter

    When I first got into fishing for bass, pike, and walleyes back in the ’60s, you either used some sort of bait, or plastic or wooden lures that imitated live bait but then in 1949, an Ohio lure maker began molding soft plastic worms, and that revolutionized the entire lure making industry and the way

    For the hunting and fishing enthusiasts, we’ve hit that brief period of the year where most of our hunting is about over; it’s too cold to wade a local stream with the fly rod, and it’s just now getting cold enough to make ice for the hard-water gang. Yes, we can still hunt deer with
