The Fishing Life At Wehr's Dam ...


“Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.”
             ~ Herbert Hoover
             ~ 1874-1964
    ~ 31st President of the
              United States of America
                ~ 1929-1933
Young and old alike share in the fine, simple joy of the fishing life amid the quiet beauty of a spring evening, as the waters of the Jordan Creek spill over Wehr’s Dam to then flow beneath Wehr’s Covered Bridge in this monochrome capture I shot in mid-May.

The dam, built in 1904, is next to Wehr’s Covered Bridge, which dates back to 1841, at Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.
