Guess its been awhile sense you have been in Wilkes-barre Pete!
A lot of clean up of the river has happened over the last few years.
John I live three blocks from the river and fish it from harrisburg to
the New York line. I missed what type of water craft are you planning
to use. There are something like 20 lowed dams on the river.

Subject: Re: [VFB] Susquehanna river info needed
Hi John,
There are boat ramps in many many places along the river.
Since I
always wade, I can't point you to a specific set. However,
you can
get a full list of access points on the web. Check out this
site:
http://sites.state.pa.us/PA_Exec/Fish_Boat/access.htm
Choose the full state listing to get maximum data.
If it was me with a new pontoon boat, I would beat feet
right to the
Juniata River, where it empties into the Susquehanna at
Duncannon.
Then drive upriver along the Juniata for as far as you wish
to float.
There are boat ramps about every ten miles. Alternatively,
putting
into the Susquehanna at Duncannon and taking out at
Marysville will
be an excellent day, with lots of islands, rock structure,
and holes.
Some other possibilities in Maryland include just below the
Conowingo
dam down to Susq. State park or through to Havre de Grace.
If you go to the Juniata, be sure to stock up on crayfish
patterns,
absolutely positively and definitely. It's crayfish
heaven.
Have fun,
Mark

Are there any list members with knowledge of the
Susquehanna? My
friends and I, from western MD and eastern WV are
interested in a
float trip. We just got new pontoon boats and our best
local small
mouth stream, the south branch of the Potomac river has
suffered a
recent fish kill so we're looking for a place to float. Any
info on
put in take out spots, water type in between and so on
would be
greatly appreciated.
