Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: My name is Kirk Mangus and I am in grade 4 at Had lc - school in Sharon, Pa. My father thinks this report I made 1 school is good enough to send to you because I used " Pennsylvania Angler for this report. —Kirk Maud' FISH OF PENNSYLVANIA If you want to go fishing in Pennsylvania, your best bet to go to the mountains to fish in the streams and creeks. I' 1 mountain brooks where the water is very cold and clear >'° can find the trout. They are hard to catch because they frig' 1 easily. Trout are some of the best eating fish and you fry tl' eI with the head on in butter until they are crisp. . There are two species of trout in Pennsylvania—rainbow al | brook. In these creeks you find minnows and crayfish. Vv lu ' the brooks and creeks flow into the larger streams you ^ find other kinds of fish. The larger streams have larger n s ' Some good fish are rock bass and warmouth bass, crapp"^ bluegills, sunfish and pumpkinseeds. Among the rocks at bottom lay the suckers and mudpuppies. We have very few lakes in Pennsylvania. However, we " near a large lake, man-made, called Pymatuning Lake, I*_ we can find largemouth bass which are a terror to the tin 1 mole who happens to fall in the water to a large water sna K The bass are very good baked with stuffing and some are big as ten pounds. At Pymatuning you can catch carp and t sunfish family. In the dirty water of our Shenango River live muskelln' 1 *' carp and suckers. These fish all have a mud-vein in then) if you clean them correctly they are good to eat. If we want to be able to fish in Pennsylvania when we S l aiid ° I up, we must help the conservationists to keep our waters *' from pollution and wastes which kill our fish.
