Fishing Escape to the
Pennsylvania Wilds

Sometimes a person needs to get away-from work,
from people, from busy tasks around the house-and
travel up to the hills, hollows, streams, waterfalls,
boulders, and wildlife of the northern Pennsylvania
mountains. I go fishing for wild Brook Trout where the
scenery beckons -the fish lie in the riffles and pools
and answer my casts with multiple bites, and beautiful
fish land in the thick shade of the big hemlocks and
white pines overhead. I packed a one-person tent and
planned to sleep out under the
clear, black night and summer
stars on private land owned by a
good friend in Warren County.
It felt like a dream traveling
to the Pennsylvania Wilds in my
old 2005 Jeep rambling northeast
on Route 62 through Mercer
and Venango Counties on my
way toward Warren County.
We followed the beautiful
Allegheny River northeast, with
State Game Lands 86 on the
12
west bank to my left and Allegheny National Forest
(approximately 517,000 acres) to the east. The river runs
wide and shallow at this spot, reflecting wooded hills
on both sides and winking at me, sparkling in the sun.
I accelerated up the highway and gazed at the roadside
greenery-lime, forest, and olive drab in the hillside
hemlocks, pines, and ferns. This scenery eased my mind
and calmed my back and shoulder muscles as I drove.
There is something about the outdoors, I told myself.
I read about the effects of leafy green woodlands on the
human heart and mind. They flash you back to ancient,
primitive days, when the forest meant shelter, haven,
A wild Brook Trout caught while fishing a mountain stream.
