What a beautiful weekend!

We are in store for one beautiful weekend so if you can, get outside and do a little fishing.

One angler reported catching a 21 inch brown trout on the Yellow Breeches yesterday. He uses fathead minnows and is averaging 12 to 15 trout per trip. He is mostly catch and release but will keep a few for dinner from time to time.

Crappies in the 15 and 16 inch range have been caught every day this week. Fathead minnows and small shiners are the best baits lately with the lake still being a little dirty. Try to find any stump, tree, laydown, etc that you can and you should find a few hungry crappies. The bite has slowed of soft plastics. GIVE THOSE BIG CRAPPIES A LITTLE BIT OF MEAT!

Bass on Pinchot are still extremely slow with fish being caught sporatically on tubes, spinnerbaits and Rat-L-Traps. These cold nights have dropped the water temperature a few degrees again. Muskies are still being caught in the upper end of the lake.

The Susquehanna River is slowly falling and still a little dirty, but clearing up some. Spinnerbaits along current seams and tubes will be catching most of the smallmouth now.

REMEMBER, May 6th walleye/pike/musky come back in season. Guys fishing for walleye now, catch and release of course, are doing extremely well on small shiners and fathead minnows below the York Haven Dam.

Enjoy the sunshine this weekend and we'll see everyone at the bait shop!
