Harrisburg, PA -- Fish biologists from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission invite you to a public demonstration of fish sampling methods at Raccoon Lake in Raccoon Creek State Park, Beaver County, on Tuesday, April 29, at 6 p.m.

The demonstration will take place at the beach area of the lake. Biologists will show the public various fish species caught at the lake through trap netting and flat bottom boat electrofishing. The event will be a good opportunity to learn about the types and sizes of fish that inhabit the water body.

Visitors can access the lake through the park entrance from the west on US 22 and US 30, or from the north and south on PA 18, which passes directly through the park.

Questions about the event can be directed to Area Fisheries Manager Rick Lorson of the PA Fish and Boat Commission at 814-445-3454 or rlorson@pa.gov.
