keystone lake ?

hello someone told me there was pike musky and walleyes in keystone lake and was wondering if anyone could verify this and possibly give me some points on where/how to fish for them.

    IMO, it's more of a trout lake than anything dude, It does have some nice bass, smaller crappie, and a few musky lurking around. Haven't heard of eyes or pike catches in Keystone SP

    Got Walleye???

    From here select Westmoreland, then look for Keystone.  It gives you an idea of how many tigers they put in and when.  Table won't paste neatly.
     
    MM, Blue Lagoon and TroutHater summed it up nicely.

    I think they have completed the projects listed in blue when they had the lake down last year (or the year before).  Never heard of walleyes or pike either.

    I was there today saw one old guy catch 10 trout from shore and and a few on boats catch one or two we couldnt catch anything had 3 bites in 4 hours. We wernt really trout fishing though. my buddy had something bit a hook off 10pound spider wire though. look of bluegill hitting the water. and the one spot had 5-6 trout dead by band floating. we fished by dam area. it was my first time there so any tips or tricks. i wouldnt mind going again this summer seems to be a nice clean park. just not sure how to fish it or where deep spots are.

    I used to live a few miles away and fished it all the and agree with blue lagoon. You can catch lots of crappie there although most will be 8-10". I did catch a 16" crappie there once, although that was an oddity. There are also a fair number of bass to be caught including some rogue 4-5#. I never had much luck in the deepest parts of the lake which is around 30' if I recall. They put saugeye in back in the day but never heard of any being caught and they are long gone. Pfbc started stocking tigers again a few years ago.

    They stock that lake heavily you can catch trout all year long. lots of big brown trout and some real big bass have come out of there. I like to take the kids out on the boat and troll for trout, electric motors only. Never dissapoints.
