| Fishing and Boating Report - November 5, 2008 |
| Dauphin County
The Susquehanna River is at very good fishing levels ranging 4 - 4.5 feet. Anglers are
fishing for walleye by using a clown colored "wally diver" lure. Anglers are catching walleye
at the Dock Street Dam, on the east shore, underneath the Interstate 83 bridge. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat
Commission continue to stock millions of walleye fry annually in the Susquehanna River.
Anglers are reminded the Big Bass Regulations apply to the Susquehanna River in Dauphin County;
check your PA Fishing Summary book for more information.
York County
Anglers on Lake Redman are taking advantage of the cold water pan fish pattern
to catch white crappie and bluegill. Vertical jigging small hair jigs inside off-shore structure has
produced large catches with a simply slow lift/drop presentation.

| Fishing and Boating Report - October 22, 2008 |
| Blair County
Anglers taking advantage of the fall conditions to fish some of the waterways should be aware that hunting
season is now in and to wear an orange hat while fishing in hunted areas.
Little or no rainfall has resulted in very poor fishing in many of our local streams and rivers. Fish are
congregating in deeper pools and are easily spooked making then less likely to bite. The Little Juniata
River and the Frankstown Branch, both popular canoe and kayak waterways, are virtually impassable
due to low water levels.
Canoe Lake is currently drawn down five feet to allow the State Park Maintenance
crew to complete work on the beach area. This has delayed the October 2 scheduled trout stocking until further
notice. The park believes the work should be completed way before the Nov. 31 deadline. The Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission will announce the stocking date at that time and the Lake will be receiving its allotment
of trout.
Huntingdon County
Anglers catching bass should be aware of the 15 inch limit, 4 fish per day while fishing streams and
rivers. The Extended Trout Season is
in affect which means creel limit is three trout per day only in Approved
Trout Waters and or their down stream areas.
Nice crappies are being caught at the Petersburg Dam.
York County
Anglers on the Susquehanna River find that the smallmouth bass are more active with the cooler weather. Small
crank baits and spinner baits along with tubs are having the best results. Best spots on the river seem to
be Safe Harbor and Goldsboro.
Walleyes are starting to school up at Safe Harbor and Conowingo Dam. Crank
bait and live minnow are the best baits.
A few Striped Bass over the 30inch mark are hitting live minnows at Conowingo Dam. |
