no not joking at all   one guy down by the breast in front of the parking lot in a shelter  and the other 2 were on the opposite end but it was weird they were fishing where the creek flows in. i guess it must be deep there?    but no im not joking haha , my eyes opened a little wide when i first looked out there and seen them! 

The end where the creek comes in (under the road) is super shallow.  If there is water there, you may get wet up to your knees or thighs if you fell through and that's if the water came back up to normal levels.  That area was high and dry this fall.

anyone fish at night at greenlick for eyes?my dad and i are going to take the under the water light and some shiners.soon

good luck with that.  save yourself some trouble and forget the light. use dynamite. 

I talked to a friend today while he was fishing Keystone State Park. He had 20 crappy by 1:30 this afternoon. Yesterday two of them went home with 55 crappy. They also caught a few bass and some trout.

they have been putting 10,000 eye fry s every year.craps,cats and perch

there s musky,no pike.it is deep at the dam 30+.i have lived in ruffsdale for 8 years.and just found it.i took my kids there in the summer got some big bass,nice cats and a lot of small perch and sunfish.a few eyes.i was hoping to get into the eyes now thats the waters cold.there has to be alot of them in there.10,ooo every year since 1991 is a lot.we are going to take all the toys out and try to find them.

this is the way this site should be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! people  helping people with what ever they know big or small.it s been hard getting people to talk.so thank you for talking and sharing .

There are Northerns in there,As far as the "dead Sea" that is about the 20th lake I have heard that was called the dead sea.It is hard to fish because it is deep & clear Go to "you tube" type in "green lick" ice fishing for musky, has a nice video of a guy pulling a Muski through the ice last year. sam

Thanks!  are there any pike/musky in there?    why does everyone call it the dead sea   i can tell not too many people who go there dont leave very happy lol  i just dont understand it   there must be an explination or something for that?   the lake looks like it could be pretty deep but i have never got out to actually depth find it

i used to fish the snot out of greenlick when i lived in ruffsdale. i really only fish for cats and carp when there's no ice. the biggest cat i ever caught came from there. it seems that between the end of june to the middle of august there's VERY little from shore action. unless your after 5" perch. i do fine in cooler months though. as far as eyes go, i've only ever caught 1 and it was ruffly 12" and that's been 5 or so years ago. admittedly i'm no eye fisherman. that 1 being the only one i've ever caught or seen up close. with all the sediment getting washed out of where the creek flows in i would thing the toothy fish might cruise that area at night. the creek that feeds the lake is a half decent native trout stream. just don't get caught fishing most of it. if i were an eye or other predatory fish i might sit close to there. 

thanks for the info guys. i just couldnt figure out why it was called that by many fishermen. the lake itself is really ,and as you said deep and clear. i wonder if the pfc ever considered stocking trout being its so deep? if they did it would really be a good place to fish for them

just watched that video on you tube. those guys are out of control haha. wouldnt catch me grabbin at that thing with my bare hands. thats a pretty decent size fish, im sure hes a little bigger this year.  btw the video was very entertaining.

We have caught Trout in Greenlick & Bridgeport, but few & far between.Last year was the first time in 15yrs that I actualy heard or saw a Musky caught out of there. sam

i had heard that when the new bridgeport dam was constructed that alot of the fish were transported over to greenlick. i can't confirm that though. but i do know there are trout in the greenlick run which flows into the lake. who can say what all is in there. the water is so deep and there's so much underwater structure. i do know that when i asked a fish commission officer what all was in there he told me that there were NO predatory fish other than walleye in there. so not even the people who should know whats there don't have any idea. obviously they are wrong about the muskies. this was about 10 yrs ago that i asked though.

yeah it is pretty sad when the fish commission doesn't even know what's in the lake. the more species fish the better id say. they all adapt and like you said there's plenty of structure and cover for them to live in. greenlick is a pretty big lake, im not sure what it is acreage wise but it looks like it could hold a lot of fish.
