Greenlick-jacob's creek

Jacob's Creek Park  AKA  Greenlick,  is in Fayette Co.  Bridgeport Dam is nearby & is located in both Westm'd Co. & Fayette Co.  I am not sure about Mud School Rd., but think that is correct. The road past the lake starts or ends,depending on which way you come, on Rt. 982  BTW is that you Al?   sam

Walt, Maybe it would help if we could get some people from Fayette Co. to call the Co. Comm. & ask them to get that emptied it would help. Could you post some names & phone # ? As I said previously the PFC told me that they will not empty it.I guess that they are waiting for someone to set the **** thing on fire before they act.   sam
 

Sam, I don't know his phone number but here is his name and e-mail address where he works for the county. He'll probably hate me for this but go ahead and write to him.

I fish it regularly at nite without much problem. Sometimes you'll get some party people drinking a bit too much or have a few parkers. No real danger. About the biggest problem I ever worry about is watching out for the striped cats.

I think there is a no firearms regulation for the park so if you carry best to keep that information to your self.

Carp guy i live about 5 mins form greenlick and 2 mins from bridgeport. When you come out this way shoot me a PM or something and i might just see you on the water.

Dozer is that back where they blew that old bridge up going across Jacobs ??

WTF??? Now we have the Mount Pleasant mafia to contend with if we fish there? Unbelievable!!!

Sounds like a lovely place.

Can Greenlick be fished effectively by shore or should I plan on taking the boat when I go out there?  Since it is fairly close, I want to get the wife and daughter out a little more this spring.  Also, are you allowed to be out in a boat at night on the lake or do you have to be off the water at sunset?  I know it is electric only.  Is the ice totally off yet?

gills,boat is prob. best since 1 whole side is mostly inaccesable from shore. BTW you can fish off of the breast if you don't break a leg getting down to the water. some nice fish in there but since the water is usualy so clear it can be tough to fish during day-light. The dam end is deepest:20to 30+ ftow with little structure.You are allowed to fish at night ,from shore or boat.The ramp is shallow,&every-time they replace the light someone knocks it out.The lake is beautiful but the rest rooms are usualy disgusting.  sam

We night fish all of the time for the stalked blue channel cats....never had any issues other then drunk people falling from there tree stands and a few parkers in the back lot.  The fish commision watches the lake closely at night.  ive been checked numerous times (and i carry my 357 and he has never said anything).  The only wacko we ran into was a guy who thinks hes the gate keeper and watches the place.  Really weird guy.  buring the day we slay the carp and bass early in the season. Walyee is also picking up in the lake also.  Also not even 5 min from green lick is the new ****....well thats what i call it.  it is another lake that is infested with carp.  we bow fish it all of the time during the day.  You need a permit to night fish there.  Let me know if you ever want to meet up to fish some.
