rockafellow property on the SBR
I got information that the Rockafellow property was sold recently. Perhaps the new owner will allow anglers to fish it ? Or from what I understand the dam will be demolished to allow fish passage ? That lower section of the SBR really never produced for me

I was asked to keep quiet about the preservation effort until the ink dried. Yes, the dam is being removed at some point. I do know my firm will be bidding on the work. Funding should be in place or nearly so.

I go through that area a couple times a week on my way to Pennsy for work. I never really considered fishing it, is it more smallmouth/warmwater fishing?

Purely speculation on my part, but they likely state stock it with trout and it would be too warm in summer for them to survive.

Re: rockafellow property on the SBR
the state stocks down river from the rockafellow bridge. some trout will swim up & go no further then that dam. that section does get warm in the summer months. plenty of smallies in that area. I passed it often when I have assignments in that area. I have fished down river of that bridge. but never fished on his side. I have to try maybe this before winter. if theres still any trout leftRusty Spinner wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 12:07 pmPurely speculation on my part, but they likely state stock it with trout and it would be too warm in summer for them to survive.
