Currently the N.B.S.A. is working on the installation of signs at all of our launch
ramps targeting anglers who are not in the know.You would be surprised how many
fisherman have know idea how long it takes a smallmouth on the North Branch to
grow. Our hope is that a angler wll think twice about putting a 15" to 20" bass on his
stringer if he knows what an achievment it is for the fish to grow to that size. We have
gained permission from the PFBC which was a big step. We are now looking for the
funds to make it a reality. Please help by joining our alliance or making a donation.
