I went to Allentown, Pa.to see my daughter,while we were there,we went to a fish hatchery.They had concrete tanks full of rainbows from 6" to at least 20+".Of course no fishing in the park,but there is a creek flowing right next to the park.
It is full of rainbows stacking up at the water discharges from the park. Catch & release only.
A couple days later,I took my grand-daughter to the creek for her to fish. She is 5 yrs.old and had her Barbie rod & reel. I put some canned corn
on the hook and our fun began.I don't know how many she had on,but I would say she must have hooked and pulled 20 to bank before half of them flopping off. Had to remove hook from rest. Of course you know I left my camera back in Spring..
After finishing fishing we were headed back to car
and I stopped to read the sign about catch & release only. Well reading it completely I found out that you can only use flies or other types of artifical bait.. Sure glad no GW was there. I will read signs completely next time for sure..
all the trout hooked & caught were between 12 to 18" If I go back there I will sure take my fly rod
and camera. My son in law is going to Audi school
there and will finish in about 3 mos.If any of you are in or passing thru Allentown the hatchery & creek are right off of I78
