greenlick

Been bad every time I fished it. Some days from daylight to dark. I don't listen to those reports. I listen to people I know fish there for the facts. I'm hoping to start back there by the end of the week. Don't know anybody that has bragged out that place this year.

Sam, are you referring to last week's regional report that starts with "Fishing is great at Green Lick Dam.  Anglers are reporting success from shore and boat."  
 
If so, although it's fine print, it says at the top of the page:
 
"Reports compiled by Miranda (Mandy) Smith (mirsmith@pa.gov), Southwest Region Education Specialist, using information provided by Waterways Conservation Officers, Area Fisheries Managers and other PFBC staff."
 

Should probably also say, "And local bait shops or anglers who tend to stretch the truth a bit sometimes."  
 
P.S. - I've never fished Greenlick and know nothing about it, so not disagreeing with your assessment.  Just wanted to point out those are not biologist reports, and usually second or third hand info.  

rsquared,Point taken,I was pointing out that I read it in the section of the site that said Biologist report.  sam

No weeds in a PA. lake...........  imagine that!
 
Positive fishing reports given by "regional educational specialist(?)"............   I'm pretty sure we can believe those reports
 
As for the biologist, the only time I see them on a body of water is (at night) when they are wearing their stupid yellow rubber suits electro-shocking the fish so, they can 'pluck' a scale to have something to look at, under those over priced microscopes we pay for.  Then prepare propaganda  telling us how great the fishing is; of which I would agree if, I could use my welder instead of a fishing pole to catch fish with.
 
Personally, if I were standing beside a Penn 'State' Fish and Boat Commission biologist knee deep in dead fish, wearing a stupid yellow rubber suit and he/she said something smells..............  I wouldn't believe them! 
 
Don't get me wrong; I have seen these highly educated morons out fishing, they are the anglers standing waist deep (usually fly fishing) in well stocked trout streams/rivers (prior bass and walleye fishery(with easy access)) wearing those stupid yellow suits we probably paid for.
 
I can't think of a better time fishing then wearing a pair of old sneakers, cut-off blue jeans, a tee shirt with the picture of Uncle Si and, a ball cap that says "I'm a PA Angler" displaying a "SOS" button.  Fishing with a Walmart Shakespeare Combo rod and reel chunking a 1/0 hook baited with a big juicy Walmart Canadian night crawler danging below a 3" pink and yellow bobber!  Standing waist deep in a well stocked trout stream/river (prior bass and walleye fishery(with easy access)) right next to some dude in a yellow rubber suit (we probably paid for) who is flinging fly's.
 
I guess that could be the reason for the "Trout Stamp";  cheap old pharts like me won't by em thereby, we have no need for a Walmart Shakespeare combo fishing pole and, miss out on a boat load of fun.
 
Sorry about getting off the subject a bit; I might be suffering from too much exposure of "Bluebird Day" brought on from too many hours of trolling deep diving bottom bouncing lures and never having to remove any weeds (or fish) from my hooks.
 
Many thanks to Sam for bringing his subject to light.
 
 
PS.  The combo reel must be spooled with 22 1/2 pound test yellow fluorescent line and don't forget the #4 chrome plated snap swivels. 
 
Bye,
 
 

Thanks for the invitation, greatly appreciated but, I'm doing just fine catching NOTHING on Pymatuning, Wilhelm and, Shenango.
 
'Penn State' Fish and Boat Commission says the fish are biting everywhere............. all I need, is a stamp to catch em!
 
 
Hey if ya promise to keep this under your fishin hat I'll let ya in on a little secret I discovered from reading the threads on the Salmon Boards.
 
Shh, those boys tie fish eggs/skein in little bags (made from cheese cloth) and catch some mighty big fish from the pictures I seen. 
 
Sooooooo, should I ever wish to fish for trout in my local streams (which is the day there are no other food supplies(doomsday preppers say there will be)) I'm going to make some little bags (made from window screen) and fill them with chicken/rabbit pellets.  The trout will think they are right at home and go into a feeding frenzy......  I'm tellin ya!
 
 
Gotta get, Pymie beckons!

Another slooow evening at the lake, I threw 10 different lures top & bottom without luck.! boat came in while I was there,nothing for them either,1 boat went out & came in,nothing for them either.Very few others fishing to-nite. Lake dropped a couple of feet this week,but didn't seem to be a prob. yet launching.  sam
