927.0. "Indiana Pennsylvania Info. Please ....." by WFOOFF::WHITTEMORE_J () Tue Dec 13 1988 11:19

                                        
	    I will be  making a short (one to three day) visit to
    Indiana PA  in May of 1989 and would like very much to sample
    the local waters while I'm there. Having no relations in that
    area I would  appreciate it very much if the  participants in
    this  conference  would  share  any  information  on fishing,
    ( stream fishing  as I will have no boat )  in the  immediate
    area of  Indiana PA.  I will be staying at, or quite near to,
    University of Pennsylvania at Indiana.

	    Also,  any  'don't miss'  waters along  Rt80  east of
    Indiana  might  well make for a  pleasant  lunch  break so do
    mention them also.

                                        in Huntington (MA)

927.3	Good luck	DECWET::HELSEL	I'm the NRA	`Mon Dec 19 1988 16:19`	9
	Having been raised in PA, I would like to be able to give you some pointers. Fact is I never heard of Indiana PA. I will say that you will probably be there at a good time. This should be right after the opening of trout season. Good luck, Brett.
927.4	Yes Virginia, there is and Indiana	MJOFS::OWENS	Oh sure...ABUSE THE ALIEN	`Tue Dec 27 1988 14:19`	22
	Indiana is indeed a town in Pennsylvania located on rte 422 west of Ebensburg Pa and Altoona. And there is also an Indiana Univ. there. NOW for fishing.. The Pennsylvania fish commision booklet "Warm Water Fishing in Pa." lists.. Lake Acreage type of fish Blue Spruce lake 12 Large Mouth Hemlock lake 60 Large Mouth, Northerns, Walleye Mahoning Creek 10 miles Small Mouth, Northerns Yellow Creek lake 720 Large Mo, North, Muski, Walleye I don't have any info on trout streams in the area As far as hot spots east on 80 NEVER, NEVER, NEVER (I repeat never) miss the Susquehanna river in May. You will cross the East Branch around Berwick, Pa. the North Branch (possibly the best) around Williamsport Pa. and then rte 80 runs parallel to the west branch for quite a distance. May is spawn time and the fish are feisty and big. Special regs are in effect though so check your rule book.
927.5	sources of info for Pa. fishing	WHYVAX::MARSHALL		`Wed Dec 28 1988 10:32`	18
	Hi. I thought I would offer some additional sources of info. I have a 1987 Summary of Fishing Regs booklet for Pa. It lists the stocked waters for all the counties, including Indiana. It also has a form on the back page to order books on fishing in Pa. I also have a leaflet that offers to send you free info on trout and bass fishing, summary of rules, etc. If you want to reply with your mailstop, I'll be glad to send these to you. I never fished around Indiana, Pa. but the state is very beautiful at that time of year. The mountain laurel is in bloom about 50 miles north of Indiana in Cooks Forest.
