We all have heard of Urban legends. I'm sure there are some fishing urban legends as well. They can be about your favorite hole or stream, the big ol' brownie that no one an seem to catch, etc... Two urban legends that I have heard through the years are:
The "old guy" at Resica Falls who doesn't want anyone fishing or who has a "toll" that must be paid to enter the grounds. I've heard this one several times from several people and it always involves some mean old guy.
Being accosted by members of the Lehigh River Stocking Association ala "Deliverence." I've also heard that they will cojole, coerce and threaten you if you don't join or are not wearing one of their badges. Someone told me they were asked to leave the river because they wouldn't donate on the spot. I've heard that they carry shotguns and drywall screws for your tires... I doubt the former is true, though...
If anyone wants to clarify or support the above that would be great. Otherwise, it would be interesting to hear others' urban fishing legends.
