Are you talking about just the fishing part, or the whole deal including the catching part? lol
I was born, raised, and (survived) in PA for 64 years.
I still spend several months each year there when the heat becomes unbearable for fishing here
at a nice camp in the NC region of the state. I fish there also from a boat in the impoundments within a reasonable distance.
Places like Bald Eagle state park at Howard, and Curwensville lake, as well as a few others like Sinnemahoning and
Bush dams.
Based on my experience, all I will say is don't be kidding yourself into believing what you just said.
