I'm fairly sure this guy wasn't doing anything real crazy . They (Water Patrol )  were set up under Rt. 18 pulling over and checking most boats as they came though the under pass. My son got stopped on his pontoon and was asked a few questions and a boat safety check given. This guy was sitting at the dock waiting to trailer his boat when I talked to him. He was having a bad day.....a 200.00 fine and his truck with the trailer on wouldn't start in the parking lot !

That's why I said I could be wrong. So many of these young whippersnappers are so disrespectful nowadays tho, it's unbelievable.

That's because you look like a nice law abiding guy Rich !
 
Me , I've been stopped & checked in every state I fished including Canada, but it's mostly due to the company I keep ! ...LOL 
 
Never a fine or an arrest, just routine checks......all have been pleasant encounter's....so far.  

You might be right.....I shy away from crazy looking people too !...lol
 
I'd say NY probably was the most checked fishing areas I fished. All good officers , respectful and actually gave information to help fishermen when checking licenses !    

Well Shenango Lake continues to rise again with all the rain ! River is wide open too .....great year for ducks & geese !

Yes Sir Captain, Shenango is still better than 3.5' above summer pool with Sluice gates 1-7 open at 2.5'.

Golden Run and Clark boat launches both closed due to high water.

Haven't heard if the beach is open or closed.

Newbies to Shenango should be aware "life jackets" are required to be worn by all persons on any boat under 16' as well as Yaks and Canoes.

That lake is crazy high right now. Beware of floating debris if you go out on it.

Welp the lake remains two feet above summer pool and the weather dudes, already this morning, are pushing advisories forecasting the possibilities for heavy rains tomorrow.

Ho hum.... just another day in NW Penn's Woods.

Guess I best be gettin' while the gettin' is good and go prep the 18 horse....., fir some mowin'.😕

Are they letting it out the dam end slowly? This would explain why the Beaver has remained at pretty much same height for a few days, about 12-15" higher than normal. It just wont go down.
 
The Conny is normal, maybe even "low"

Sluices 1-7 have been open to 2.5' but will be at 1.5' by noon today.

Shenango River level at Sharpsville is presently 5.3'.

I would think you should see the Beaver going down shortly.


WAIT...... WHat?😏
