A Fishing Hole Lost
The lake at Buhl Park in Sharon, PA. I decided to fish there today for a little while, and after having a pretty good day fishing one of the park rangers pulled up and told me there is no fishing allowed there anymore. Theres no signs or anything so I didn't know. We didn't really talk much, but he said they are draining the lake for some reason and the people in charge of the park decided to make it off limits to fishing all of this year. There was also a father and son fishing there that seemed to be having a great time, but they were told no fishing too. At least the ranger was nice about it and he really seemed sad about telling people not to fish, but that's his job. I'm not sure if it will reopen or not.
The lake is small and I never caught any big fish there, but it was always a great place to take the fly rod or ultralight spinning rod and catch and release a ton of small gills, crappie, and the occasional small largemouth. This is the only lake that I know that has a decent population of bullheads, and I always seem to pick up one or two. It was also a great place to take the kids, easy access and easy to catch fish. And it's very close to home.
I only fish it a handfull of times a year, but I will truly miss it. Lots of good memories.
Anyone else know what's going to happen with the lake?
