Cromby In Phoenixville

This location is home to a large number of species. Because of the warm water flow out of the plant, and it is a clean burning plant no three eyed fish, the fish stay active so you can catch year round

Ironpete0827 the answer to your question is yes. There is a parking lot right next to the water and from there your just a few steps away. You can get a great view of the spot with satetlite maps. I looked at it on google maps and I my truck is there.
I might get some pics up soon.

Great info, is it easy access?

I have to agree with you manduke. There was a period of time when fishing was tough. I"ve noticed over the last few years the fishing has gotten better, so it seems that the river is making a comeback. I heard last year that during an electroskock survey that a few monsters were recorded. Now if only I can find them.

Itts great that the river has recovered so well-Iwas an environmental enforcement officer in the early 80's and it was pretty ugly.Good example that fisherman can help the environment by not putting up with pollution.
