Photos by Dan Morey: Pymatuning Reservoir, PA

From Dan:
These photos are from Pennsylvania 's carp mecca, Pymatuning Reservoir. The reservoir's Linesville Spillway is home to thousands upon thousands of common carp. It's the place "where the ducks walk on the fish." People have been tossing them bread since the 1930s. Only the Liberty Bell draws more tourists in Pennsylvania. The postcard is from Dan’s collection.
