3 bucks a shift. I always liked the midnight to 8 am shift. We would bring a bunch of beer in and some whiskey and have a good ol time. I can remember seeing gobs of assorted colors of play doh....er powerbait all over the water. Got booted a few times from there. Ah....the good ol' days.

yeah, until the drunk guy keeps casting across your line and blaming you for it. I'm all for having a good time but those guys were obnoxious. It wasn't you Loopy lol
One time when we were there, I couldn't believe how many guys were trying to fish the mouth, and that woman kept coming out and yelling at them "Hey all you Happy Hookers, come and get some of my chilli!!"
entertaining to say the least.

I believe the guy who sold bait out of the trailer took a job at Poor Richard's when the pig pen closed.

cut my teeth steelhead fishing at Trout Run over 20 years ago.on a calm day the lake looked like somebody dumped a giant box of Trix ceareal in it. multi-colored powerbait floating everywhere. didn't really fish the Pen much but the whole circus was entertaining as hell. and they had good soup. remember the guy who sold bait out of the little trailer? you'd knock on the door to wake him up. We'd come home tired as hell and smelling of skein and beer.had a lot of fun and made some good memories.

That does sounds fun, I bet you have a good time thinking back on that. The trix cereal thing is funny, too haha

Used to like sitting in a friends boat 2 docks over from the water flow gate before they would open it up for everybody and just cast for cast or flip you would hook a screamer on skein and have to try to keep your line off the dock poles took fishing in a barrel to new heights ..... * snap

You folks sure ain't purdy....yeesh

I'm glad that's how you feel, because from reading your posts, I always figured you were someone who went fishing looking to "hook up".  Not that there is anything wrong with that.

" .... . "  [ I deleted the remainder of FisherChics' post ] FisherChic stated two reasons it was known as the Pig Pen . I've glanced at the Pen while fishing Trout , but never fished it . Many times the Wall can be frustrating due to the behaviors of some [ which is why I don't fish it ] and also has the above behaviors plus others , but the Pen seemed to have a concentration of bad behaviors . Just an observation . Don't get me wrong , poor behavior exists all over the creeks , but some places has more of it than others .
