Local Streams Fished by Angling Legends and Famous Personalities

A very interesting public meeting of Susquehanna Chapter TU on Wednesday, April 12th at 7 PM will explore how our beautiful streams of Northcentral PA became favorites of nationally known fishing luminaries, authors, innovators, and angling getaways for notable public figures including U.S. Presidents, Vice Presidents and Senators. Over the past 60-70 years, Chapter members Bill O’Connor and Don Daugenbaugh have met, hosted, guided, and become friends with many of these prominent people. Along with other Chapter members, Bill and Don will share their unique experiences and times on our local streams with such memorable characters. The meeting will be at the First Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall at the Rear of 102 East Third Street in Williamsport.

Fish Commission Program on Assessing Streams for Wild Trout is Topic for Susquehanna Trout Unlimited Meeting

Bob Weber, Fisheries Biologist for the PA Fish and Boat Commission will present a program on the Commission’s plans to assess additional area streams to determine whether they will support wild trout populations. The PF&BC is working on plans to evaluate at least 1500 streams across the state which have not yet been assessed and update data on many which have. The program goal is to provide the ability to conserve and protect the highest quality streams in the Commonwealth. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 8th at 7:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall of First Presbyterian Church, rear of 102 E. 3rd St. in Williamsport. The public is welcomed to attend.
