Shenango Today

I found a bed of bluegills yesterday that were the biggest I’ve ever seen on this lake. Caught over 60 in an hour and a half and released them all. Didn’t feel like cleaning them after doing 45 fish Tuesday. Hand tied jigs and waxworm under a bobber did the job. These gills were up to 8” and some even bigger. Hopefully they won’t move out if we get this storm coming thru. I has a great time catching them until my arms hurt.

I know some end up in the lake, but realistically expect my lifetime tally for catching trout in the lake will stop at today’s catch of 2.

I’m guessing there’s not enough people fishing for them at big bend and that’s why so many are getting into the lake. I’ll be glad when they start stocking them below the dam again. Was always lots of people fishing for them there.

Unless the toxins below the dam decrease, don't think that will ever happen. Putting them at Big Bend, the problem is that there isn't enough room to fish, plus that area has deeper water, that can't be waded in easily, if at all.

The Clark boat Launch and the West end of Golden Run are temporarily closed due to high water
