I spent Saturday on beautiful Foster Joseph Sayers Lake in Center County Pa. My primary objective was fishing for the prolific crappie for which this lake is locally famous.
Being a shutter-bug I could not pass up the opportunity to capture “action shots” presented by the many recreational boats speeding across the lake’s smooth waters. As so often happens when shooting action the two boats passing in this photo was purely coincidental.
Foster Joseph Sayers Lake is a 1730 acre flood control lake completed by the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1969. It is named after a World War II Private First Class from this area who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroic action on November 12th 1944 near Thionville, France.
The lake is surrounded by the 5,900 acre Bald Eagle State Park and provides many recreational opportunities including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, swimming, boating, and biking, along with wildlife watching.

This is such a nice action shot. I can feel the spray. the Lake sounds like a delightful place to fish for crappies.
Love your new header Salty.
I see you took my header advice ;)
Nice action shot. That place would be fun to play around in.
Happy Father's Day Salty.
Oh Salty! I love the new header! Your site gets more snazzy all the time. :-)
Love times like that!
I guess I may have missed this photo. My mind must have been on vacation. Nice capture.
