going to donegal tomorrow needs some tips on where to go and what to use. Only day im going this year. so it would be nice to catch some. Not looking for trout. prefer bass, walley, muskie and other then trout. also any bait shops near by.

IMO,Greenlick or Bridgeport are better choices for what you are looking for,but there is a good population of bass in Donegal. There is a bait shop right at the lake,Jeff may be able to help you.All 3 of those lakes are electric motor only if you are taking a boat.  sam

I got three weeks off from work so im doing a tour of area lakes and area bodies of water. Donegal is just on the tour tomorrow  im thinking hitting the spillway/breast of dam and using shiners ad crawlers to see what i can get lucky and land. I just wanna catch some fish form each body i visit.  Dont have to be huge just something other then trout.

Not much to fish at the spillway, not allowed to fish on the breast.  sam

The only two bait shops I know of near Donegal Lake [and there may be others] are Rich's[?] right across from Donegal Lake. If you drive on the side of the lake where the boat launch is, you can't miss it. A little further away depending on your direction of travel is Red's Bait Shop on I 70 W. It's on the right side of the road if you get off the turnpike at Donegal exit and make a right after passing the toll booth. It's in the town of Acme and very near the Acme Community Center [ white wooden building]. I believe it used to be a church.

the bait shop at Donegal lake is Scott's run by Jeff - jeff's son scott started it years ago - scott moved off to better things and jeff keeps it going - always good bait.
