Very Cool!! A local Fly Fisherman is going to Portugal for the World Championships in September. Check back again then and we will keep you updated on his progress!


LOCK HAVEN — Fly-fishing in the little town of Germania as a young boy with his mother driving him to all the best fishing holes, George Daniel never imagined he’d someday be considered among the top fly-fisherman in the country. Now years have gone by and Daniel, 27, is training for a trip to Lisben, Portugal, where he will be one of five anglers representing the United States in the World Fly-Fishing Championships. He and his teammates will be competing against 23 other countries in the competition, which is often regarded as the Olympics of fly-fishing.
