How accurate is the DWR stocking report. Do they leave some things off because they are afraid of back lash they might get?
Reason I ask is that I have been catching a lot of Largemouth Bass (small onesl) out of Minersville. It was common knowledge that they were thinking about putting them in but it has never showed up on the official DWR stocking report.
Talking to some of the fly fishing regulars there they are not happy. One of them said to me that they should just put carp in too.
Yet there are other people that are happy about the LMB.
I have got into a couple of spots where you can catch one on every cast. They are about 8" and super pot bellied. They seem to really like Minersville so far.
As far as the rest of the fishing at Minersville it has really sucked this summer compared to the last few summers.
That being said the big trout have been hitting really good down by the dam the last week or two. Almost nothing under 17",, looking pretty good, and fighting good too.
But for what ever reason there has also been a real noticeable die off of bigger Rainbows. I counted 55 "BIG" dead fish the other day. I measured many over 20"
the biggest one at 25'. Most looked to be healthy,(but dead) with a few having a small skin blemish or two.
That is Minersville I guess.
