woody anselmo Hope this finds you all well!! For those that have previously fished the Lackawanna, the following should make sense. For those that have not previously fished the Lack, but understand the value in protecting our wild trout fisheries, we ask you to please take a minute to read the following link, and if you agree, please sign the petition and feel free to share. We feel strongly that this river and these fish not only need, but deserve our help! It really is a special wild brown trout fishery, as I hope all of you have the opportunity to experience!! Tight lines and thanks for your support!!!
