I see what you have going on in the past statements. children and a child with a disability, as i remember. Take a time out and check out Tobyhanna State Park, fish the spillway, downstream and also fish the bridge at the headwaters.
Little late right now for trout.
Now get on your internet and find 7 mile rd. About 1/2 mile before Game commission office, is a place to park. Walk the road into game lands and behold a stream. Fish it! Do not try to fish all, like I did, down to lower bridge. You can't do it in peace. Too far, too mucky and too much.
I have been sneaking around this place, I like it but you better be aware, it is not easy.
I find it hard to believe, you can not find a stream close to Pittston. I have been tangled up in that area before but have found many State Parks and many holes. Maybe I did not catch a lot but I fished, had a sandwich, looked around and enjoyed myself.
I guess you just have to make a day of it, fishing the Poconos. Make it your day, a pleasure and not a nightmare. Pack up, cold drinks, small grill, some hot dogs, and a favorite fishing partner. Catch something, good, catch nothing, good. You
caught the will, the way, and the friendship of all Pa. has to offer. Is that not enough!
The outing of fishing is more about all being there. Bountiful in pleasure, a relaxed fit, Then the torment of no fish! Seems a hot dog, cold cola and a laugh is just the right "Bait".
