The
Walleye run is imminent in the Susquehanna
River; water temperatures need to drop to around 65 degrees before the
action picks up. A few Walleye in the 19-inch range have been caught by
anglers near York Haven. A six-inch steel leader is helpful when fishing
low river waters to prevent losing expensive lures on jagged rocks.

fall stocking of adult trout on Laurel
Lake is set for Wednesday, November 8th, 2017.
