Looking to cast a line in the Keystone State? Here are 12 welcoming, easy-to-fish waters perfect for beginners.

The best fish-holding areas are usually places where several advantages overlap: shade near deep water, current, submerged cover, a productive thermocline, or access to cooler water during low-light periods.
