BY Park

I never had luck and probably never will at BY. Drive a few extra miles to Boston and hit the river. You will be glad you did

Yeah carp in the shallow end channel cats in the deep end. That's about it, there's a few bass. Small gills and crappie also. They used to put some perch in, too. But haven't really fished it since some guys were yelling at me for taking some gills for cat bait. They said the lake is for kids and u can't keep ne thing, but there's no signs posted about it.. Only worth it for cats and carp. I've caught a few 20"+ channels on liver but no monsters, but they were all released, so you never know. Worth wetting a line if turtle creek is blown out I guess. I've also heard the carp like bread there.

I was also told that they "have" stocked it with a bit of trout, now that was a few yrs back dunno about now?

Never caught a trout there myself. Anyone know who actually stocks that lake? Is it pfbc? Is it c&r only?

I took my boy out there several times when I lived on that side of town.  Ton of (extremely) small bluegills - we're talking #14 hook - they were tough for him to catch.  I saw a lot of catfish pulled out - I think they actually stock them, but I never fished for them.  Caught most of the gills near the pier and most of the cats I saw caught were directly across the lake from there.

 
I used to take my boys there when they were little and do the same thing for the bluegills. My son caught a perch there once. Never saw anything else worth mentioning come out of there.

I brought my own tull....just made him carry them

i caught a lot of cats out of there, theres some big ones, but most are 20 inches or so

I could be wrong, but I think the Turtle Creek Watershed was the group that stocked BY.

took a walk around the pond today after work today, a few little cats were pulled out but nothing to reallly talk about, but it still had a decent color

Cinders and goose poop mostly

I knew about the goose poop.  It's not all that far from me either.  I'm trying to find a lake that has pavement around it so the g/f can rollerblade or run around it while I'm fishing.  I know Indian Lake does but that's a drive.

Yeah, probably worth the drive compared to by, I like mammoth better myself but its farther yet. Twin lakes track is very nice though

Mt pleasant area. Probably 45 min from monroeville twin lakes is a little closer

familiar with where the sheetz on Rt. 48 is?  The one right by Mcdaine's driving range?  If you do then it's right there next to Turtle Creek.
 
If you don't know that area then it's in between Pitcarin, Monroeville, and Trafford.  Can't think of a better way to explain it than that.

Went there today. There was a ton of people fishing. Saw a guy pull out a nice channel, another with a nice carp, and I caught a 23" channel myself. It nearly pulled my Ugly Stick straight into the water before I can grab it.

And of course the young kiddies were catching bluegill all over the place.
