They will catch a ton of 10 inch largemouth that were stocked in 2017/18

No fish.... no show.

I'd volunteer my boat but dang it, that happens to be the week I clean my Gold Fish Bowl.😞

My point is usually you will see the host at a lake in Canadia or somewhere stuffed with fish.I remember watching a few of Charlie's shows back in the day he's pretty sharp. Maybe he'll be fishing for panfish.
 

I would guess they may not fish Glade Run, but perhaps show it off a little bit as an example of what can happen with some good old fashioned grass roots work that gets some politicians to actually work for the people that elected them.  Save Glade Run Lake is a wonderful local conservancy here in southeastern Butler County that made the dam repair happen.  Without them, this lake would have gone the way of Hereford Manor.  It's not a great lake and probably never will be, but it's PFBC owned and can certainly provide years of entertainment for casual fishermen and those who enjoy being on or along the water in other ways.  
 
It's only been refilled since spring of 2017.  The PFBC has put troot in there for the past 3 trout openers.  They have stocked fingerling bass (maybe a few adults from other places that have been drained in that time if I recall correctly); a forage base (spot tail shiners and golden shiners I believe); channel cat yearlings; and some bluegills and crappies.  Other than the pellet munchers, all other fishing is still catch and release there.  It was interesting to see that they left all the brush and trees in there upon refilling it.  Makes for some tough trout fishing for most that like to chuck out power bait on the bottom, but definitely the right move to help those warm water species establish themselves in there.  
 
And since this is the Arthur thread, I'll throw out there that my 9 year old and I can add a third Dead Sea report for this past Monday.  Got a few real small gills - just enough for cat bait - and had one good cat hit.  

John after 6 years of fishing Arthur on a fairly regular basis, I’m beginning to think it may not be the fish that are stoopit.

I’ve been trying to figure out rhyme or reason why some days are pretty good there for us and other days, within a few days of a decent day under similar conditions, are so tough. Have a bud who absolutely swears by the sol-lunar tables for fishing and plans his trips accordingly. Definitely seems to be a correlation for us this summer with those tables.

Dave I would agree, there being something to the sol-lunar tables. At least for fur bearing animals anyhow. Easy enough to observe the furry critters as to when and where they might be, during a certain cycle.

Not so sure🤔 'bout them stupid fish though.

I still believe in the old IFS F+L+P. Taking water temperature, as the leading indicator at any given time of the year.

emitch if I understand you correctly, F+L+P 101 means stick to the basics or, if ain't broke don't fix it.

So in a nutshell... stupid is as stupid does😁

You forgot to factor in Murphy's Law into your formula.

That also depends what other anglers show up that day.  When fishing with the 2-3 time per year fishermen, I am in usually in the 10%.  When Crappy's kid, Chauncy or other guys that can catch hammerhead sharks out of a toxic puddle, are on the water, then I am clearly in the 90%.  Everyone is in the 10% under certain conditions.

🤔 Pork does have a point here...... so maybe it "ain't" me and really is the stupid fish.

Thanks Pork.... I feel better now 😌.

BeenThereDoneThat.
so maybe it "ain't" me and really is the stupid fish.

Let me know if I am using these terms right?

Stupid fish - ones that don’t bite.

Dumb fish - ones dumb enough to bite.

Tim,
 
 He bought me a Sylvan 16' Pro Fisherman last month with auto pilot foot control, elec. anchor, elec. winch & a large Humminbird fish finder. He must think I'm getting weak & blind with all these gadgets  He is delivering it to me at camp tomorrow afternoon.
 
 Gonna catch worms some night in the next few weeks & set sucker traps.

 Merc. Bigfoot 4 stroke, Looks big but think it is maybe a 15 hp. Hope you do good with the Jumbos & Slabs at Arthur this fall. Yeah, it would be nice if it gets wet this season, Linesville launch is just down the road. 
 
Cleaned the square back canoe, inside & out with Lysol toilet bowl cleaner & turned out lookin' new.
 
  Thanks,

I’m thinking about heading up there on Sunday. I’m hoping there won’t be many of folks on the water due to the Steelers afternoon game. Haven’t been there all year. Looking to get into some channel cats and bass.

Is it worth it? Should I hit the river or Wilhelm instead?

I'd personally look at a plan B if you are hearing anything better.  I struggled to avoid a skunk the last two times out.  Things should change with fall approaching, but most of the week in the 80s, isn't likely going to help.  Who knows though?  If you have a pattern that typically does well at this time of year, then you already have me beat.  I usually struggle in late summer, which is fine since work usually has me too busy to get out.  There could be about an hour window at dusk that things could turn on, or at least give a good show.  They move fast, so sort of need to be lucky.  

 You guys getting better quality Panfish this year? The few times we have made it out the Perch & Crappie have been the healthiest I can remember since I've moved here 35 yrs ago. Many Slabs 12"- 13" with a few larger & a nice batch ov Perch up to 13". Just wondering if yinz witnessed the same?    crappy
