However, (as stated in the disclaimer) each body of water in the State of Pennsylvania has it's own unique regulations that will be followed at all times.

It is also stated in the disclaimer that I may add my own rules when fishing for particular species at some locations. I do this to protect the fish and other wildlife living there.

Attire relies heavily on the time of year as well as the day of the trip. 

Key things to wear or to bring just in case for EVERY trip include: Sensible shoes, (sneakers, boots with traction, Crocs, etc.) anything close-toed. Bring a warm coat; even in the peak of summer. Nights get cold on the lake, and even days with clouds or wind can make it uncomfortable on an open body of water. Jeans and a t-shirt are also highly recommended.
