Ah Linesville...spent 5 weeks at the end of college learning Bio-Statistics at Pitt's "CAMPus" on the lake. Easiest 5 credit A I ever got. Catch fish all morning, create and analyze data after lunch and fish all afternoon. Professor was a TU guy from Conneaut. Good time.

I drove by there earlier this week and saw that they have their fish traps out. They trap walleye for breeding purposes. The catch other fish in their traps as well, and fry them up at the open house.

Been to the open house before; however, it snowed the last time I went.

Was wondering if they were going to have the open house this year. Not sure I will go, but just in case, thanks for posting that.
