Although Pennsylvania may have been named for its woods, our waters are the real attraction. There are more than 85,000 miles of streams and rivers, along with 4,000 inland lakes and ponds covering 160,000 acres, plus 470,000 acres of Lake Erie. What does this mean to you? There's plenty of good fishing nearby! Below are links to a few pages on our website to get you started.
