Butler County Bass

I was looking online and topo maps and satelite views, and does anyone know if the Boydstown resevoir (above the Oneida Dam) able to be fished? Also, the Glade Dam Lake, different from Glade Run Lake

If by Glade Dam Lake, you mean the one on SGL 95 near West Sunbury, part of it can be fished.  Much of the lake is a Propgation Area and is strictly off limits to EVERYTHING.  But in the parts that are accessible, you can fish.  I have absolutely no idea how the fishing is, as I only hunt ducks there once in awhile.  In the early season I often see fish surfacing, but have no idea what they are - I'd imagine probably carp. 

Boydstown dam was removed in 2009.

Ya the propagation area looks like a bass gold mine though, full of weeds and lilly pads. Thanks fellas. Anybody also know of any public lakes(minus Moraine) with good bass fishing?

 It's a over looked lake in the area. The main lake is open for ice fishin' Harbor Acres is located on the same GL , no gas motors on either lake. The bass fishing is good at Lake Oneida in the summer, fish deep for 'em. Thorn Run res. is only a few min. away with bass & crappie, both lakes can be fished from shore only. Ton ov strip mine ponds through out the northern Butler area loaded with bass.

Ya my neighbor told me he used to sneak in and shoot the carp up there with his bow. He said him and his dad snuck in one night and killed bass.

Cross creek is a 9.9 hp lake plus need a washington county parks launch permit.

Glade Run Lake is currently being drawn down. Fishing is concentrated to a small area near the dam. The boat launch is a couple of hundred yards from the water's edge. Due to the mud, fishing is pretty much limited to the dam breast and the fishing pier.

Glade Dam on Game Lands 95 has two primitive boat launches. You can fish the entire lake, propagation area as well, after June 15th, from a boat only. Shore fishing is limited to the southern end of the lake. It is very shallow and weedy. I usually can manage a few bass and lots of catfish. Nothing big but good numbers. Did I mention it is very shallow and weedy?

  Babe Winkleman has fished Glade Dam Lake several times with no luck. Prob. heard all the stories the locals told ov monster bass in there. He has been skunked at Arthur also.

 Check yourself for ticks after fishing that muddd hole? Best to have chest waders on there even though wading is prohibited.

  My buddy used to live next to it. He would get bites all over his stomach area every time out. Fished with him & the boys there a few times & we all had some on us. Waders seemed to help a bunch. We caught piles ov Crappie & some Bass but the fish seemed to have malnutrition/stunted/skinny.  He said it holds some nice bass though.

 Good Luck

Pretty sure it is a stained lake. Guess when it gets low in the summer it is easy to get the bigger Bass.

If you're talking about the little lake on the other side of the bridge at Oneida, yes, you can fish it. probably no water in in though... above that, I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist anymore. they drew it down. Lake Oneida is a joke now. Every fish that is 12.25" or better is taken home by some chump. That lake will be fished out by the end of this year for bass. I fished there at night with limited success: again, small fish up to 14/15". Look at the PFBC biologist reports for this body of water. It's sad.
In response to Glade dam Lake, I have punished that lake with everything-Buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, big O's, Plastic worms,- you name it. Never caught anything over 12". Went there at night with jitterbugs and spinnerbaits. Nothing to shout about. I agree that it does look like the bassiest lake of all time with all the lily pads/stumps but the bottom in that area is muck. Not good habitat.
harbor Acres is an ok lake-decent fish in there but difficult to navigate in the summer without a boat. I like to fish it at night. It is very clear.

Stopped by the Glades this past Sunday for a couple of hours. Got 2 LM's about 12 and 13. Also got one Carp, 14 -15 inch. Bass on green and black tubes. Got Carp on of all things, a huge size 8 Stonefly imitation with a 4 WT. Ha

I had a carp nail my Mr.Twister while Crappie fishing the other day. It's a hell of a fight on a crappie rod.

Has anyone fished Lake Oneida this spring ?
