Just ran into this old thread:

Welcome Bob. You probably already love it here.

I know your area well. Hunted & fished Pike & Wayne Counties all of my life----Saw Creek, Pine Flats, Red Rock Run, Shohola (before and after the lake), Little Equinunk, Grassy Road, Fairview Lake, Deckers Hollow, Wacky-Laxen, Elbow Swamp, etc, etc. I could go on for quite awhile.

LOL---I forgot about the "lack-of-action" nickname. I still remember the first time I was there (as a kid). I heard the sirens going off, but didn't see any signs. Then the water started getting near the top of my hip-boots!

I never did good there. I preferred small trout streams for trout (some I mentioned), and the Lackawaxen pool (in the Delaware) for shad.
