"This post is funny. Minersville has been experiencing absolutely fantastic fishing. People are talking about it all over -- what do you expect? You cannot hide good fishing. When fishing is good, people show up. Isn't that what we want? Isn't that why the DWR manages fisheries -- to provide good fishing for people to enjoy?"
The last two weeks your "fantastic fishing" statement is simply not true at all. I fish the lake almost weekly. I can tell you that it is not as good as it was, point blank and period! You are also partially wrong about the Beaver River below the dam. It does have some other issues that you are correct about, however it is fished out. It has nothing to do with cycling up and down. Just days before the quarantine fishing was excellent and pressure had been moderate to light on the river all year. From when the quarantine started until now, pressure has been extremely heavy on the river below the dam. It is a waste of time to even go there. If you don't believe me then go give it a try this week, and post all the pictures of 15"-20+" trout you caught. It would have been easy to do just 10 or 11 months ago. Prove me wrong, I'll wait.
It's good to see the lake busy. That means something is going right!
It depends on why it is busy. Is it because something is going right or because most of the other lakes in the area are doing poorly? With that said there are at least 10 other lakes/reservoirs in Beaver county. Which one is doing remotely close to as well for size and numbers of fish?
