Ok, got to the Pa reports and conditions and you will find a welth of ifno for lakes near you. Rose Valley is a local lake for you but can be tough to fish at times. Ask away, lots of guys will give you pointers and directions. Good luck

how far do you want to drive from williamsport to fish.  within a half hour is rose valleye, the gut, white deer golf course, thomas's dam, and alot of other farm ponds.  within an hour there is hunters lake, lake chillisquaque.  and jsut over an hour away you can fish bald eagle state park (Blanchard Dam), Lake jean, and maybe even hamilton dam, nesmuck, and beechwood. 

those are just some of the more known ones in the area all you can do is get your self a map (i suggest a gazeteer) and look around. 

three of the tougher lakes have the best chance of getting big fish is rose valley, hunters, and lake chillisquaque.  I dont know why everybody says rose valleye is a tough lake ( i never had difficulties there)  but maybe it has chnged since i have been there. 

Good luck,

JM
