If you are after some hog bows, I'd hit Minersville with some wooly buggers fished on sinking line or behind a bubble on a spinning rod. It's probably a little early for Smallies at Newcastle. From my experience they generally don't start to bite consistantly until the water warms up quite a bit. Incidentaly, the same rig I use for bows at minersville works great at Newcastle as well! By the way what is the water level like at Newcastle? I heard that it was almost empty by the end of last summer and probably won't even reach the half-way mark this summer. I am jealous though. Those two bodies of water were my favorites while I was at SUU.
