My inlaws had a cottage at Lk Wallenpaupak (source of water for power that discharges into the Lackawaxen). We fished for walleye, at the lake with a home made spinner whose blade was cut from a colorful alum beer can called an "Indian Joe". Arguably, the only rig that caught walleye, at Lk Wallenpaupak.
