Last chance to fish for free
This is your last chance. As I said before, few things in life are free, especially if you are a fisherman. But Sunday, June 6, is the second of two days each year when the Fish and Boat Commission lets you take to the state’s waters without having to first plop down a few bucks for a fishing license. This is a great way to “sample” the sport or introduce somebody to fishing that normally wouldn’t buy a license.
There are all sorts of opportunities to hook into a lunker this year, from largemouths at Pinchot or Lake Redman to smallies on the Susquehanna to carp and catfish at just about any pothole big enough to hold water. While I haven’t searched for them, there must be some hungry trout eager to take a bait in the county’s streams. Just about every day this week, I’ve waved to my young neighbor as he hops on his bike, trout rod in hand. There are either some nice trout or a pretty girl down the road.
While everybody else is in town staring at polished chrome and fat fenders, I will be enjoying the peace and solitude of Mother Nature. With the opportunity to “fish for free,” I shouldn’t have much trouble finding somebody to tag along.
