Fishing in the Area

General

Bedford and surrounding counties offer excellent small mouth bass and trout fishing opportunities. Smallmouth Bass and Panfish are plentiful at the Campground, Hartley Cottages, and throughout the river. The Bedford County Tourist Bureau web-page and office has some information about local streams. The Tourist Bureau will also mail you copy of the Juniata River Guide which has excellent fishing information for the whole river basin.

Licenses - Regulations - Gear

Click here to review the PA Fish & Boat Commission site which supplies current information on regulations and licenses. Fishing licenses, bait, and tackle can be conveniently purchased at either of two sports shops located on US Route 30. Both are located within three miles of the campground - These are the Archers and Anglers hunting and fishing shop and The Juniata Trading Company.

Fish Free Days

- Every year Pennsylvania offers two fish free days where no license is required for residents or non-residents. Check the Fish and Boat Commission web-page for the annual fish free dates and opening days for various fish species.
