Re: Need a change of scenary
None that I know of. Maybe one of the shuttle services that work the Delaware would do it . You could launch in Sydney or Bainbridge and take
Out in Nineveh or Windsor. There’s boat launches all along the river. The river is in my front yard in Afton. I have 2 drift boat trailers and will leave
One at the take out with a vehicle. Or just have my wife pick me up. The river sees almost no pressure and
Is pretty scenic. It’s loaded with crayfish. Streamer patterns and crayfish
Patterns work. Along with the smallmouth and walleyes there’s some musky I’ve been told. Caught some nice fish and no crowds. I’ve only seen 1 other drift boat in 4 years since we bought the farm. It doesn’t have any the big trout the Delaware has but it doesn’t have the ridiculous amount of pressure and boat traffic either. I’ve caught some
Smallmouth over 20” that fought like crazy. I wish I wasn’t so busy and could fish it more often.

DC stay out of Pa. there is nothing to see here. Stay in Jersey. Try the flatbrook or the Musky by Stanhope. The water is colder as it’s close to the lake outfall. Actually, on second thought, I have seen you cast. It looked like someone having an epileptic fit on steroids. You might be better off joining Hatchman on the Susquehanna where both of you can work on your skills and get good enough to fish for trout

Re: Need a change of scenary
lol! Keep that dinghy in the Poconos WBDlvr . Just be careful if you float tobyhanna or the Brodheads , the Poconos have become the “ Hood” in the last 30 years , I used to own a few houses there. Many a transplant from Newark and Harlem. You might have to put a few bricks in your new
Sling purse to defend yourself if they try to
“ dinghy Jack “ you. Certain areas of the Lackawanna in Scranton can be a little urban too.... lol !
I’ll take a day on the Susquehanna in solitude fighting some nice bronzebacks anyday over the West Branch when it’s swarmed with
Guides “ living the Dream “ or most places in northern PA. Central PA that’s a different story.

Re: Need a change of scenary
If beating the crowds and getting frustrated is what you seek, theres always the Upper East.
Otherwise I'm in the same situation as you. I want to fish, but can't bring myself to burn a day to go and fight for a spot on the West. I may start trolling some PA streams too.
Roll up the windows Brian, you're letting the stank out.

I spent several springs fishing the Lackawaxen long ago, before I moved up the Delaware and discovered the tail waters. I fished with Charlie and Ivan and those other geezers who hung out around that...
