Fishing in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has more miles of waterways than any state except Alaska. The limestone streams of Cumberland Valley — the Yellow Breeches, LeTort Spring, and Big Spring — are legendary among dry fly anglers. Lake Erie's Presque Isle Bay holds walleye and steelhead. The Susquehanna and Delaware rivers provide excellent smallmouth bass and shad fishing.
