Join us for an Autumn outing on the Brodhead. We'll meet up for lunch around noon at the park just before the 191 Bridge. Should be a great day out for fishing together.

Meet up at the Bowmans Town boat ramp. If you're not a hunter, no worries!  Head to the boat launch to meet up in the morning and, rather than heading to the field, just start fishing!  It's a great time, whether you choose to hunt all day, fish all day, or do the traditional split of both!  See you there.  (Be sure you have your hunting license, if you plan to hunt)
