WAG's has been closed for a looonng time, like over 15 years. Walt finally decided to retire and sold both the sports shop and his engineering firm.

In addiditon to the 'D' the Paulinskill has a fairly abundant population of Dobsonfly larvae, AKA hellgrammite's. As others have stated find a riffs/rapids stream section with rocks from baseball to watermelon sized, place a net directly downstream and start rock rolling, taking the time to swirl your hand around in the hollow below the rocks as you roll them.
