Description
One of the most unusual places you can visit is the Spillway in Linesville, Pa. Millions of carp have gathered at the Pymatuning Reservoir Spillway since the 1930's to be fed by visitors.
Where the Ducks Walk on the Fish.
Linesville, Pennsylvania
You can't beat hurling a chunk of food and watching animals fight for it. People in Linesville, Pennsylvania, do it today. Their food is white bread, the animals are carp, and the venue is the Spillway on the Pymatuning Reservoir. It's known to the world as, "Where the Ducks Walk on the Fish."
This attraction does not advertise, yet it draws over 300,000 hurlers a year, according to park manager Pete Houghton. By the town's reckoning, the Spillway is the second most popular tourist destination in all of Pennsylvania, trailing only the Liberty Bell.

OH WHOA George, what a lot of carp. I remember catching carp when I was younger but never saw that many at one time. Amazing. L/F/fb

Thank you for the comment Karen. When I was a teenager living in Ohio my family would visit my Uncle at his cabin on the lake and I remember the fish were like this back then(about 50 years ago).
