Is it killing the fish?

No, but they don't want you to eat them right now out of that lake. Same for Spruce Run.

Like I would eat anything out of either one of those "ponds"..

Im with you on that..... . besides who eats freshwater fish ....Yuk

Fishing @ Penwell is a joke. Everyone is almost grilling & drinking. Trash being thrown everywhere is disgusting also

Nice fish! Are the lures blacked out in 2 of the 3? The 'ol Titties-on-a-peep-show-poster special?

Yes. I had posted those pictures on another site that wasnt C&R friendly

KLG was 67 at 12:30 yesterday(Monday) 68 at 2:00 when I left...the next two days aren't going below 70 at night, we may get some rain to cool, but keep a thermometer handy!!:) leave the trout alone until next week when I plan to run up to the West Branch for the sulphur and Iso hatches. Upper Delaw...

https://i.imgur.com/QnDCoQb.jpg I have a question. If a fisherman hooks a trout in general regulation water. Then the trout runs into protected catch & release water. Is he allowed to keep the trout after he lands or nets it ?. A question I always wundered ? As I fish teh Gorge sometimes & see guys...

A spinning rod for the win

I went for a hike this morning in the Black River State Park. I didn’t realize it was opening day... in my travels, I walked past no less than 20 people occupying a single 200 yard stretch where the river turns along State Park Road. Not a single person had more than 100 square feet of river themse...

Nice lunker Troutman

Thk U

Got this baby there today

I'm sure a lot of those guys catch and release in that section , but I grew up fishing that strech and when I was a kid from the dam down to Hoffman's I just remember every one had a stringer on they're side clankin around , and I still associate that image with that stretch even though like you sa...

I don't disagree with you , but if you are new to Fly-fishing , the pressured fish , crowded stream, forces you out of your comfort zone and makes you a better fisherman . I agree to what you say. You really have to be on top of your game somewhat to catch fish in KLG. Those trout have experience &...

I find the stretch Pre-KLG to be more enjoyable to fish. From Shannon's down to the bridge. Yes its not C&R protected. But 99% of the guys release the fish anyway. & Shannon's stock alot of niceeee fish in there for all to enjoy. I lmao sometimes when I see most of the guys down in the KLG :shock: l...
