Over 30 species of game fish put up quite a fight in Pennsylvania's
waters. Anglers will find a paradise here in big lakes like Lake
Erie, as well as the hundreds of freshwater lakes and streams in
virtually every corner of the Commonwealth. The state maintains
an extensive fish-breeding program, and spectacular game fish can
be taken in locations throughout Pennsylvania. Common fish species
found in this "Angler's Paradise" include walleye, largemouth
and smallmouth bass, muskellunge, trout, and even the fighting northern
pike.
You'll find that Pennsylvania's waters can be more than just ideal
fishing holes -- they are also spectacular natural waterparks. Take
a whitewater rafting sojourn for some heart-pumping excitement,
or settle in for a leisurely canoe ride on one of the more sedate
waterways. Classic riverboats cruise the larger rivers and colorful
sailboats skim the waters of lakes like Erie and Wallenpaupack.
To cast off and get started, choose an area you'd like to visit
from the map above, or begin by selecting a region name.

rules and regulations please contact the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission.
