Trout/Fishing Report

Local trout anglers have been having spotty success on the local creeks, mostly the Yellow Breeches. With the water being low and clear, early morning and late evening are going to be your best times. One clear water trout tip for ya - take a Gold Swiss Swing or CP Swing spinner and get out there early, about 4:30 am, sometime before sunrise. We know that's early but if you want to catch a bunch of trout now with low clear water, that's the way to do it. The fish are a lot less spooky when it's dark and they feed a lot more.

Bass in Pinchot were cooperating for a pair of anglers yesterday who reported catching 8 keeper sized bass on soft plastic worms. But most anglers are still reporting slow catches for bass. Crappie are still being caught with some real nice ones coming in this week. Fathead minnows has been the top bait the last day or so.

The Susquehanna River at the York Haven Dam is on fire! 3 fisherman caught a total of 218 fish yesterday, consisting of walleye and smallmouth. They were using fat head minnows and SLOWLY bouncing them along the bottom. Their biggest walleye was 21 inches and their biggest smallmouth was 20 inches.

White Perch are being caught on Lake Marburg. Fisherman are having the best luck at the second bridge. They are using a heavy weight on their line to cast as far as possible. Most are catching the white perch on the bottom on a small piece of nightcrawler.
