  • The 2023 Fishing Season Underway0

    Ken Hunter

    I know most of the fishing crowd doesn’t think of a new fishing season being underway until trout season rolls around in April, but I’ve always considered the new season underway when I hit the ice for the first time. In recent years that first trip rarely took place before the start of the new

  • The Roving Sportsman… Seeking Sheds0

    Jon Pries

    Nope, this is not about looking for wood sheds, tool sheds, outhouses, or any other type of outbuilding. This is the time of year when bucks begin to drop their antlers, and hunting for these sheds is a passion for whitetail hunters. There is some thought that temperature changes or fluctuations trigger the shedding of

  • Hurdle, Kurkjian, and Rhashan / Wow Hot Stove League Audience0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    For a few short hours last week, it seemed like summer as the “summer game,” baseball, was celebrated at the Williamsport Crosscutters Hot Stove League banquet held at the Genetti Hotel. The banquet was highlighted by appearances by former Pittsburgh Pirate manager and former Williamsport Bills manager Clint Hurdle, ESPN’s Hall of Fame announcer and

  • The Lure of Fishing0

    Ken Hunter

    Contrary to what the title may seem to be suggesting, this is not a piece about what causes or entices one to fish but rather what lures one uses to catch fish. I got to thinking about this topic when someone just getting into fly fishing asked me if a half dozen flies would be

  • The Roving Sportsman… No Place to Go?0

    Jon Pries

    For most of us who live in Lycoming County or the surrounding counties, we are fortunate to have acquired multiple places to hunt, fish, and spend quality time outdoors. Whether we pursue small game or big game and whether we prefer to fish for trout or bass, the majority of outdoorsmen who have resided in

  • The Roving Sportsman… Winter Chores0

    Jon Pries

    We have had amazingly pleasant weather these past few weeks, and according to the latest forecasts, it appears that it will continue for at least a few more weeks. It is so nice that some of the usual snowbirds have been delaying their regular trip south so that they can take advantage of the unseasonably

  • The Roving Sportsman… 2023…A New Beginning?0

    Jon Pries

    I think that most folks will agree that the last couple of years have been overridden with negative. From the inception and lingering effects of COVID-19 to the deepening divide when it comes to trying to have a civil discussion regarding politics, and from the wide open southern border, which allows drugs and some rather

    Sorta… Every. Dang. Year. Every year I swear I am going to start early and get everything done and just enjoy the season. Consider this year yet another fail. I am once again so far behind the 8-ball, it’s sitting in a different room — #ChristmasFail. On the upside, this happens every year, and every

    So last week I put a call out on Facebook to help find Jimmy a buck picture to include in his article. Turns out, we ended up with a couple of extras that I didn’t have room for on Jimmy’s page. Since I feel kinda bad Jimmy was only able to include one in his

    Late Fall Trout Fishing0

    Ken Hunter

    I know a lot of us are caught up in the fall hunting scene, but every year I have to remind myself that there is still some good trout fishing available after the leaves cover the ground. I managed to squeeze in a couple of hours of trout angling last week along with a couple

  • The Hunt for Fall Panfish0

    Ken Hunter

    I know it’s fall, and that means hunting seasons are in full swing, but a lot of us diehard fishermen aren’t quite ready to give up our fishing endeavors just yet. There’s a good reason we’re not ready to hang up our fishing rods since there are still some great fishing opportunities available through the

    The Great Outdoors0

    Steph Nordstrom

    This week we are bringing you everything outdoors. We have lots of great stuff about hunting, fishing, safety, and generally enjoying all that Pennsylvania offers outside. I…don’t have a lot to contribute to the conversation because I’m not exactly outdoorsy. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy a nice hike every now and again, but

  • The Roving Sportsman… So Long, Summer!0

    Jon Pries

    In just over a week, September 22, 2022, to be exact, Fall of 2022 will officially begin. Where the heck did the summer go anyway? For some unknown reason it simply seemed shorter than usual this year and, somehow, just slipped away. I suppose part of that is that when you keep busy, time has

    I was never exposed to fly fishing growing up. Sure, I tried it several times, but the purist ideology never stuck. It can be extremely frustrating, and I have zero confidence. I quit fifteen times and went back to my spinning rods. But COVID changed everything. I started with YouTube and made a few calls.

    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

  • 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

    Ken Hunter

    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. High on my list are the water conditions

  • Panfishing: An Alternative to the Opening Day of Trout Season0

    Ken Hunter

    I know, the first day of trout season is when a lot of people get out fishing for the first time since last summer — it’s tradition, you just go on the “first day.” That’s great that a lot of folks often get out with family members to enjoy a day of fishing, but that

  • It’s Almost Trout Season!0

    Ken Hunter

    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

    Happy New Year, kids. Trust all is well. Yes. I have been extremely busy of late. The basketball season is in full throttle. While the SJNRA Golden Knights are usually the topic of discussion. A few have asked if I am still fishing. Absolutely. I am not going to lie. I would rather talk about

  • Enjoy the Outdoors Even After the Hunting Seasons End0

    Ken Hunter

    Like a lot of folks, my love of the outdoors began when I was a young man just getting into hunting and fishing. Needless to say, over the years, I became very involved in outdoor activities and little did I know that I would one day look back and realize that I basically made my

    Awakening on Monday morning to an inch of white covering the entire landscape was a (“somewhat”) gentle reminder that Thanksgiving and Christmas are rapidly approaching.

  • Christmas Shopping for a Fisherman0

    Ken Hunter

    First off, let me be clear, I don’t know much about shopping — that is, going into stores and buying things unless those things are hunting and fishing things. I know even less about buying “online” or whatever it is called when you order stuff with your device. That being said, every year about this

  • Target Bass This Fall0

    Ken Hunter

    I know that when the leaves begin to turn, and the temperatures begin to fall, much of our thinking is centered around the upcoming hunting seasons, but fall is also an excellent time to target bass. More specifically, the fall season is great for targeting bass on the surface — both smallmouths and largemouths. I’m

    With a lot of summer activities — including grass cutting — still in full swing, and plenty of warm days and nights still on the agenda, it’s doubtful that any thoughts of hunting have even begun to enter our minds-me included. To be honest, I’m still caught up in the challenge of catching more bass
