Highlight: Attention all anglers: If you witness people fishing illegally, with bait or taking fish on the Tully... the best action to take is to contact the Southeast Regional Law Enforcement phone number at 717-626-0228. That office is generally open only 8:00AM to 4:00PM Mon-Fri. The more they hear about this activity, the more they will patrol our waterways! Its up to YOU to make the difference!
