….angler holding a spincasting rod and reel upside down and a boy pretending to fish with just the butt section of a two-piece rodWhat are they thinking?” one shop owner asked. “The commission puts out this kind of crap and they wonder why they can’t attract more women anglers?

A sad state of affairs! March 27, 2026 PA @OutdoorNews Notes off a soiled cuff. Jeff Mulhollem Editor We heard from readers in recent weeks about this “clueless” cover on the Fish & Boat Commission’s latest Fishing Summary publication – showing a supposed woman (con’t)

It’s all about the fish! Congrats #USA 🇺🇸 on the #Olympic #Hockey Gold Medal “The right side features a swooping bald eagle, while the left has a bit more personal touch with a large mouth bass as the Winnipeg Jets goalie is an avid fisherman.”

@fishwildlife @NWTF_official Well deserved award Ron for all of your work in keeping state Directors in the flock and working for the common cause— conservation of our nation’s fish and wildlife. Bravo Zulu my friend.

The @NWTF_official honored Ron Regan, executive director of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, with the C.B. McLeod Award for his dedication to wild turkey conservation. nwtf.org/content-hub/re…

Happy President’s Day! Very fortunate to share the stream with President Carter and First Lady Mrs. Carter. My claim to fame was to hold the cue cards for a PSA about water pollution the President graciously agreed to do with @PennsylvaniaTU He was a friend of the fish!

The mystery of the missing blue pike. I remember fishing for them in Lake Erie when I was young. Party boats would be filled with anglers looking to bring home dinner. Then they disappeared never to be seen again until now! 🤣. Thanks @MeatEater youtu.be/MqpAUHs_6Lk

@JohnHQuigley bayjournal.com/news/fisheries… DEP waited until I retired to formally impair the middle Susquehanna. I tried to tell Secretaries Hanger, Krancer, Abruzzo, Ankust, you (Quigley) and McDonnell and everyone else who wouldn’t listen but my arguments fell on deaf ears.

@SGT_PFBC_SCR Good luck Sergeant!

Last Raystown Lake patrol for me. Moving sides of the region for the last chunk of my career.

This is not a gumball with legs. This is a male spring peeper that is mid-peep. Spring peepers are tiny tree frogs no bigger than a paperclip, but they make an incredibly loud croak. You’ll hear their chorus in early spring near wetlands and marshy areas. 📸 Ryan Hagerty/USFWS

Great 2 present 2 Susquehanna Chapter of @PennsylvaniaTU in Williamsport last evening. Saw many “old” friends & made some new ones. My talk was “The Life and Times of a Fish Biologist” which is a light hearted view of the people I have met who have influenced me in my lifetime.
