A trip to Cameron County over the Memorial Day weekend proved to be an adventure for a downstate teenager. Zack Quintrell from Quakertown was working a deep pool in the Driftwood Branch of Sinnemahoning Creek when a monstrous brown trout grabbed his offering and put up a struggle. Quintrell was able to land the trophy trout, which measured 23 inches. It was one of 30 tagged trout stocked in local waters by Emporium's East End Beverage and Straub Brewery. The tags are redeemable at both places.
