Hi all, I live in Lancaster County in southeast PA. Where is the closest area in which I might be able to collect pickerel (redfin, hopefully, not chain). As near as I can tell, neither is exactly common here in Lancaster.

What drainage system are you located in?

Its the Susquehanna River Drainage.

Unfortunately for us we have the same basic system (I'm in the West Branch) and Redfin are pretty rare in it. There have been some reports of them I guess, but I have no idea where I'd be able to find them. I've caught a few chain pickerel in the river, but that's it. The closest area where you'd probably have luck would be the Delaware River drainage system, I heard they're pretty common over there.

Sorry this is so late but they are in the east brandywine near downingtown. I don't know if there are any 18" in there though! :laugh:

I talked to our local fish commission officer today and he said that Pa does not differentiate between chain, redfin, and grass pickerel. In most places they all have to be 18" and in some 12" to keep. BLARGHHH! The man is always raining on my parade.

I think I caught a grass or redfin in Clark creek while trout fishing. It looked different than a chain but it flipped out of my hand before I could make a solid assessment.
