Indian lake NHT

I am brand new to the area, just bought a house in Manor. I've been trying to find some close fishing and I guess that it is this indian lake.  I'm just wandering what is mainly caught and used on the lake. I've read some of the posts about the lake about the goose **** and read about the carp tourney thing. Just wandering how the trout fishing is. I'm from western central where there trout fishing everywhere. I've never fished the yough either and I would like to try that someday too. Anything would be helpful

    My personal experience with the trout fishing is that it's hit and miss.  Some guys say that once the warm weather hits you can forget it.  Personally the best day I've ever had trout fishing there occured in the dead of summer.  A buddy and I limited out in just under 2 hours.  Of course that's the only time that's ever happened and we were the only 2 people on the lake bringing in any species of fish.
     
    Good luck.  See you out there sometime.

    Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths.

    Ehh, I'd just go fish the Yough if I were you.  Most of that lake is about 2' deep except for a small hole on the covered bridge side.  The goose crap alone is enough to keep you from fishing there.  I honestly don't know how trout survive in there it's so shallow it doesn't stay cold in the Summer.

    Twin lakes mammoth lake and loyalhanna creek are worth looking into I'm from near manor also and that's where I mainly trout fish. Yough is very good too from what I hear.

    Thanks for all the replies. I'm willing to give a try to all kinds of fishing. All my gear is like size 14 hooks 1/32 jigs small split shot noodle rods and ultralite equipment stuff like that. Can anyone recommend a good website for rigging or give me some info on how to start and what to get for bass or carp tackle.

    Keystone State Park is an easy drive as well as Peters Creek. You can hop on the turnpike and get off Donegal in 35 min. and be fishing there or some of the many streams around there.
