- North Fork C&R Cleanup a Big Success!
A good turnout of volunteers helped make the annual cleanup of the North Fork C&R
a big success! 15-20 bags of trash were picked up from the top end of the C & R to the mouth of Seneca Creek. Afterwards, participants feasted on chili and took advantage of the location to wet a few lines. Steve Kickert, Director of the Seneca Rocks Discovery Center, expressed his thanks for the group's effort and is already looking forward to next year's event.

A musky on a TU website? That's right, and there is a great story behind it! For the last several years, Harold Harsh, owner of Spring Creek Outfitters in Oakland, Maryland has donated a full-day guided trip on the North Branch of the Potomac for our fundraising banquet. This past March at the banquet, Bill Lawrence was the highest bidder on the trip, and yesterday, July 12, he and his son Mac met up with Harold. A good day of smallmouth fishing was capped off with this nice musky, which Harold stated weighed close to 10 lbs. Way to go Mac, and thank you Harold and Spring Creek Outfitters for your continued support of PPKTU!
