About This Image

Splash Magic Campground and RV resort in Northumberland, PA was purchased two years ago by its present owners (It was formerly known as Yogi-on-the-River). Last year the campground was flooded FOUR times, yet the owners are determined to make this one of the best campgrounds in the US and they are off to a great start.
"Lake Catch-A-Fish" is a large catch and release pond with several RVs and rental log cabins around it. These inhabitants have been here for several years - probably released when a seasonal camper closed up their unit with a pond. The brightly-colored Koi is almost two feet long. It's comical to watch them when people are fishing - they'll swim towards the proffered bait, watch it awhile, then swim away - pretty clever, as none have been known to be caught!

The bright one is nearly 2 feet long - and lazes in clear view until cameras or fishing gear appear - then it tends to move away farther from shore! Interesting to watch these 6 that seem to band together.

very interesting, Vicki. I thought that Koi looked like a large one. Have to smile about them refusing to take the bait, smart fish!
