Danny Hilliard of Leechburg has loved fishing since he was old enough to clutch a rod.
He recently created the Leechburg Angling Club, a new public Facebook group, with a goal of promoting angling on the Kiski River and its associated tributaries.
“When I was a kid, the Kiski was only good for curing poison ivy rashes and tie-dying white T-shirts with a rust-and-orange patina,” Hilliard said. “Now it’s got mussels, crayfish, a burgeoning bass population and it’s stocked with trout. We have an immense natural resource right in our backyards.”
Anyone with an interest in fishing is invited to join, and Hilliard requests members keep their posts civil. Hilliard serves as the group’s administrator.
