    The Great Outdoors0

    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

  • A Local Gem: Camp Susque0

    John Denver sang that West Virginia was almost heaven, but a better candidate would be a valley located about fifteen miles north of Williamsport.

  • The Elusive Muskie0

    When it comes to fishing here in Pennsylvania, you probably won’t find many fishermen who are strongly dedicated to pursuing muskies. There are probably some good reasons for that lack of pursuit; for one, they are not exactly abundant, at least not like trout and bass. They can also be difficult to catch; you can

  • The Roving Sportsman… So Long, Summer!0

    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

  • Panfishing the Mid-Summer Heat Wave0

    If you like to fish, now might be a good time to concentrate your efforts on a lake and a good target would be panfish. The title “panfish” is often used to describe several different fish species. I think the name may have come from the fact that several will fit nicely into a frying

    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’ve had a few crappy fishing days over the years, but that’s seldom the case when I’m fishing for crappies. The truth is crappies can be taken year-round; we catch them through the ice in good numbers, and spring, summer, and fall can also be productive. The key is to know where to look for
