172 THE ANGLEK'S GUIDE BOOK. 



Ohio Pyle (B. & O.) Youghiogheny r.; b. b. and salmon (pike-perch); b. b. 

 most numerous; live minnows, helgraniites, red worm, etc. as baits; June, July 

 and August best; hotels $2 p. d.; guides and boats not much needed; bait can be 

 had; minnows 15c to 25c p. doz. The b. b. fishing is excellent here. 



Palmyra (P. & R.) Swatara r. 2^ m.; b. b., pike, German carp, etc.; b. b. 

 most numerous; grasshopper and minnow baits; July and August best; hotels 

 $1.50 p. d. 



Parkers Glen (N. Y. L. E. & W.) Carrs Rock br. near station; Delaware r. near 

 station; last named best; b. b., trout and pickerel; the first named being most nu- 

 merous; clippers (helgramites), toads and "lamper" eels used as bait; Sept. and 

 Oct. best for bass; May and June for trout. Carrs Bock br. is an excellent trout 

 stream. 



Parry ville (Leh. V. See page VI) Poho Poco or Big cr. and Lehigh r.; both 

 contain coarse fish, of which the sunflsh and suckers are most numerous. Such is 

 the substance of the report sent us, but from the number of anglers residing in 

 Parryville, we looked for better waters adjacent to that town. Pine Run and Wild 

 cr., however, which contain trout are from 5 to 7 m. distant, and we presume are 

 visited by the local anglers. 



Penn Haven Junction (Leh. V. See page VI.) Stoney cr. 2 m.; Drakes cr. 4 

 m.; Bear cr.2 m; the first best; trout in fair numbers early in season; arrangements 

 for guides (if needed) can be made on Stoney cr. ; boats and baits not needed 

 use art. flies. 



Penobscot (P. & R.) Crystal 1. 2 m.; Wapwallopen cr. near station; trout in 

 stream, and catfish principally in 1.; worm bait; June, July, August and September 

 best; hotels $1.50 to $3 p. d.; boats 50c p. d. The creek is hard to fish owing to 

 the overgrowth, but abounds in trout. 



Perkiomen Junction (P. & R.) Schuylkill r. near station; Perkiomen cr. y z 

 m.; about equal; bass, carp, catfish, sunfish etc.; bass and sunfish most numer- 

 ous; crab, minnow, helgramite and worm baits; August and September best; no 

 hotel; boats $1 p. d. About a mile above this station some b. b. fishing can be had 

 at an old dam on the north side of Pickerings Island. 



Peter Creek (B. & O.) Peach Bottom in the Susquehanna r. near by is noted as 

 a s. m. b. b. ground. Hotels $1 p. d.; boatmen and boats $1.50 p. d. See THE 

 AMERICAN ANGLER, Vol. IV, pp. 73. 



Philadelphia (Via 14 r. r.) The Delaware River above and below the city gives 

 fair white perch fishing; the fish are small. Down the r. as far as Salem these fish 

 are caught weighing a Ib and upward. For salt water fish local anglers resort to At- 

 lantic City, Great Egg Harbor, Cape May, the Delaware Breakwater and other points 

 on the sea coast. For fresh water sport, the Schuylkill, Delaware and Brandywine 

 afford fair b. b. fishing, within 30 m. of the city; the two first named waters a few 

 years ago yielded excellent creels of b. b. with a fly; we hear, however, that the 

 fishing is falling off and that local anglers are going further away from home. Sev- 

 eral trout streams lie within 25 m., but they are fished out early in the season. 

 Would advise visiting 

 grounds. This rule holds good for all large cities. 



Piukerton (B. & O.) Casselman r.; b. b. and coarse varieties, bass predomin- 

 ating; minnow, grasshopper and worm baits; June and July best. 



Pittsburg- (11 r. r.) There are a number of trout str. located on the Pitts & Conn, 

 r. r. that are visited by the local anglers. These str. empty into the Youghiogheny, 

 Casselman and Potomac r. and afford fair trout fishing, the latter yielding b. b.; 

 good accommodations can be had at the farm houses in the adjacent mountains, es- 

 pecially at Meyersdale and Somerset, Pa. 



Pittsfield (D. A. V. & P.) Brokenstraw cr.; Andrews r.; last best; brook trout; 

 flies and worms as baits; June and July best; hotel $1.50 p. d. 



Pittston (D. L. & W.) Lake Carey 25 m.; Susquehanna r. near station; first best; 

 pickerel and b. b. principally; crabs (crayfish), "clippers" (helgramites) arid min- 

 nows as baits; August, September and October best; hotels $1.50 to $2 p. d.; boats 

 plenty at 50c p. d. 



Plymouth (D. L. & W.) Susquehanna r. near station; best fishing ground about 

 1 m. down the r.; b. b., perch, pickerel etc.; bass and perch most abundant; min- 

 nows, helgramites, crabs (crayfish) and worms as baits; August, September and 

 October best; hotels $2 p. d.; boats and bait can be procured.
