I’m sure they are still fun to catch.
Sol absolutely fun to catch, but they the fish commission push these tigers and absolutely ignore what could be a very good state to fish in. They are lazy and push lazy ideologiesI only go for the purebreds.
All I know is at least they stock these big fish in PA if they didn’t I’d probably be a cat fisherman
I couldn’t just fish for those bucket trout. Even those steelhead are fun but a trip or two catching maybe 20 in a day once or twice a year I’m done. Freezing and the drive is the worst.
Don real numbers since 2013 musky stocked 515,000 compared to bass at a 260,000. Like sol said they stock trout for their musky feed. When you double the stocking of a species and try to write we are the best articles, creates hate in my heart.They were referring to the waterway. Back when you were in High School it was a place that an amateur could hope to catch a sort of musky called the tiger. Though they were sterile it was thought that the draining of the Dam would destroy the fishery and turn it back into a mere bass’n guppy pond. Apparently one of your pals from the state had dropped a wrench into the gears and it jammed and they had no meaningful control of the gates. At least that was the story we heard in Allentown back then. The fear was tha the musky fishery would be disturbed and that the bass would prosper so well upon refilling the lake. So when the say it returned the don’t mean the species so much of the environment that favors them. It’s back.
Now go hug a politician
They require a pre determined return during their surveys. If they dont get it they stop and try something else. What I'd like to know is who comes up with these plans??? WHY would you put walleyes into a salad bowl swamp??? Theyve put them in a few pocono lakes like that and they alays fail. Yet Belmont and Prompton havent recieved stockiing in almost ten years. Both places produced fish. I've never chased them there but have a few friends that claimed they always did good on both those lakes. Lackawanna State Park is another lake that has potential but doesnt got walleyes. It has size, depth and a solid forage base. Better to waste them in shallow ponds I guess.
I don’t get that either stocking so many fish in certain areas but in some waterways they can get along. I honestly think most areas are just stocked with trout so you have to buy a trout stamp.
That’s funny that you say this as there is a lake by me that some people started throwing walleye in it. The fish comm did a survey and caught a couple. All they did was say for people to stop doing this as these fish are clearly living and doing good so why not stock them.
