Pikes Run

I went down to Pikes run for the first time this morning.  I went to the delayed harvest section, and could barely find any parts of the stream that were not posted.  Is this stream worth the 20 minute drive to try and find the non-posted areas?  Does anyone know how many fish they stocked there on 3-2?  Thanks

Plenty of fish in Pike Run. I hear they're hitting power worms in the Bubbling gas hole.

thanks flyway, where is the 'bubbling gas hole'? Is it in the delayed harvest section? and is most of that section posted? I was sort of disappointed to see so much private land.

I pretty much live ON Pike Run, and it isn't worth a 2 minute walk, haha.  I load up and head to the mountains.... Yough, Meadow, Laurel.  Pike Run is known as "hubcap creek" here to the locals.  All of those homes (if that's what you can call them) along all that posted land, dump their sewage directly into the creek, and that's the entire length from Deemston to Granville Holler.  There is no city sewage.  Aside from that, the creek itself is all but a trickling mudhole save for the higher flows of very early spring.  Do yourself a favor, and spend an hours drive if you have to, and head for the Laurel Mtns.  Sorry for the ringing endorsement.

first off... puffy, the way you refer to those homes on the creek or as you said if thats what u call them they are homes and people live in them including my family members so dont talk s**t on places like that. second of all the creek is worth a 20 minute drive if you dont want to drive far to catch trout this time of year especially if you cant afford the gas to go to places like the yough or meadow or anywhere in the highlands for that fact there are decent holes and pocket water on pike run and as a matter a fact i fished it quite often when i was in highschool because it was a 10 minute drive from me if that. u will occasionally hook into some decent pelletheads in the delayed harvest section and sometimes might even catch holdovers depending on how the weather is.... anyways its not a bad place to hook into some stocked trout if you have cabin fever

Got a 20 incher at the little spillway by the bridge towards the bottom... P-dubbs all dayyyyyyyyyy!!!

Well, the past two posts have renewed my hope for the stream.  I figured it couldnt all be bad.  Still, I walked 3/4 of the delayed harvest section and every nice spot/hole I saw was posted.  Do you guys just disregard the private property signs, or are you fishing the few holes that arent in private property?

does poop float in the water??

Actually, I  just think you are being too over-sensitive. 

if you know people on fishpot then you know my family cause that road is pretty much all my family haha

haha im not a patch honky i grew up in the country between richeyville and fredericktown

I've come across sulfurs there myself actually, though it was a few years ago. They weren't coming off in any great numbers, but there were enough to get the attention of the fish.

Who said that their was no brown trout in Fishpot?
