It’s National Fishing & Boating Week June 1-8! The Allegheny National Forest Region is serving reel good vibes all week long! Whether you`re casting a line or paddling out, this is your official excuse to call in "sick" and spend the day on the water.

Top Tips for Fishing in the ANF Region:
5. Hamlin Lake | expert comment - heavily stocked, it`s shallow. Great place to take novice fisherpeople.
4. Upper Allegheny | expert comment - beginning in Port Allegany, river is fully stocked for 24 miles, ankle deep water perfect for all skills
3. Marilla Reservoir | expert comment - great for kids, casting in a pond and not climbing through creeks. They throw a bunch of fish in there and some really big ones too.
2. Westline & Kinzua Creek | expert comment - they put big fish in and it`s bigger than the smaller stocked streams. Longer season and bait restrictions so the fish last longer.
1. Sugar Run | expert comment - heavily stocked and many small streams connected that are also stocked well and 321 is a scenic route

Remember the early bird gets the bass. Hit Allegheny Reservoir at sunrise for the best shot at walleye and smallmouth bass. Dress like a local. Translation: pack for ALL seasons. The only thing more unpredictable than a jumping trout is the mountain weather. No boat? No problem. You can rent a boat fromWolf Run Marina & Docksider`s Cafe and kayaks from Allegheny Site Management at Willow Bay.

Kayak-friendly waters like the Allegheny River and Marilla Reservoir offer incredible scenery and fish stories in the making.

Pro Tip: The fish aren`t the only ones that bite — don’t forget bug spray.

Whether you`re fly-casting in the creeks or paddling the peaceful backwaters, the ANF region is where fishing dreams come true (and your phone’s gallery gets full fast). So grab your rod, your kayak, and your best “I swear it was this big!” story, and let’s celebrate National Fishing and Boating Week, Trail Central style.
