In the 1990s nearly 90 miles of the Allegheny River were
designated Wild and Scenic River and the Allegheny
National Recreation Area was born with Pennsylvania's
only official wilderness lands. And this year, Congress is
considering enlarging the Pennsylvania Wilderness,
ensuring that this will always be a great spot to fish. For
authoritative info check out the Hunting and Fishing
Museum of Pennsylvania, downstream in Tionesta.

Welcome to the Walleye and Northern Pike capital of
Pennsylvania! This is the home of the Pennsylvania state
fishing tournament, held here and on the lake every
September with headquarters in Tidioute.

According to outdoor writer Mike Bleech:
"The best trophy musky fishery in Pennsylvania,
perhaps the best in the eastern U.S., is the Allegheny
Reservoir."

Service. They have some amazing pictures!
       According to Pennsylvania Angler and Boater
"Serious musky hounds are convinced that this big lake
holds a state record, and probably several of them.
Sometime, a musky there might challenge the world
record"
