Greenlick is approx. 100 acres and has a variety of fish. I've caught many species of fish there to include pike/muskie, trout, eyes and several nice cats one being a flathead that weighed in at 27 pound. I put that critter back in after having it weighed and photo'd. A lot of small carp(3-7 pound) with a couple going 15 pound. Most eyes caught in early spring soon after ice-out. The fingers and toes don't tolerate the cold well these days so I don't do the hard water stuff. Someone above mentioned "why not trout". I for one hope they never do because it would then receive entirely tooooo much pressure and ruin fishing for the other species.

wow thats a pretty nice cat! you still have the pics of em? i was the one who mentioned the trout stocking, and thinking about what you said your absolutely right. theres plenty of stocked places to fish for em as it is. i personally have never caught a muskie before, im sure its a fighting experience though.

One of the reasons for not stocking trout,was so that the lake could stay open for fishing all year, instead of closing it for a period in the Spring,which happens to be when most people get "cabin fever" & want to go for crappie. sam

went to greenlick,was by the dam in 22-33 feet.got into some perch 5-9 inches.moved to a inlet on the far rt side.found a nice hole 5-22 feet deep.marked some fish so poped some hole but no hits.think about going tomarrow and try across from the boat dock.

The two Muskie I caught there were small 32 and 34 inch but they were a pleasant surprise. The flathead was caught a few years back and I do have pix but don't know where. Had the critter measured and weighed, photographed and released. Even got a trophy fish award from the state. Caught him on 8# test line with a night crawler while fishing for bass.

oddly enough the giant channel cat i caught there hit a red worm. i was carp fishing, as usual, i no sooner set my rod down and picked up the other when the rod i set down went for the water. i didn't get an official weight on it but it was just under 30".
by chance, does anyone know what the roads are like down there in the low lands?

i was out on green lick yesterday. there is snow but not very much. the wind is taking care of a lot of it. donegal however has 17" to 20" of snow on it. which is pretty much the same as what will be on any lake up here.
so i went to both places and only got one bite and that was at donegal. i couldn't get any minnows so i was very limited on what i was using. hope today is better.

sheesh! i don't think i'll be going that far for minnows. rte 40 is almost an hour away. i guess i'll try to catch some dace out of the creek here. if the natives will let me that is. last time i tried to get dace i ended up with 3 natives and no dace. i even tried not to hook the trout but they were a bit too fast.
