Pennsylvania's classic limestoner and a wild-brown factory — alkaline, stable, gin-clear and genuinely hatch-driven, the opposite of the acid mountain headwaters. Sulphurs, tricos and BWO on glassy water and educated browns that didn't get big being foolish. Entirely catch-and-release for decades, and the fishing shows it.
