You must have left just before the truck got there. I was over by the damn when the truck arrived and went over near it to watch the fishies get poured into the pond. They try so dang hard to swim back into the tube they came out of. lol

Man, I like to catch fish as much as the next guy but I prefer to not have my fellow anglers sitting on my lap.

I'm glad you feel that way, now leave this thread for the people who don't mind going there to fish!

I thought the lake was quite magical. Beautiful Mallards and some interesting geese. I was happy with my day @ the lake either way. If I had a lake like that in my backyard I'd feel pretty lucky...as for crowds...Not my cup of tea. But whatever floats yer hovercraft I say

Aside from days directly following when they stock it there is seldom a crowd there unless it's a sunny weekend. You will get a few locals during the day and a few guys stopping by after work. There are many many great fishing spots there where you can usually get away from most of the people. I started this thread for people that enjoy fishing there. Not the people that don't want to go there because the water is dirty or there are too many people.

I like going there to fish as well, I just don't like it when I'm trying to work a lure and people crowd in on either side so I have no where to cast.beaverfan said:

Yeah, so I was standing right next you then, but just didn't know who you were. You weren't the guy I passed who was fishing at the outlet as I was leaving? That's the only person I can think of that meets your description of yourself. But I was too busy too really pay attention, it was pretty fast and furious action.

Great there will be plenty of fish for ya! I was actually impressed with the size. They weren't big by any standards but compared to the usual barely 8 inches most of the one's I caught were easily 10-11 inches and fat and feisty. Really fought good.

Now that we can agree on! I hate inconsiderate fisherman. And I will concede there are several of them that frequent Commonwealth.

great fishing!!! very crowded at least 30 people fishing(not an exageration) Seemed like everyone caught there limit and went home. I would think at least a couple hundred trout were taken yesterday. The bite was at around 4-8. which is probably when they were fed in the hatchery as they feed on a schedule. Goin back today to try some spinners. I think I was the only one catching and releasing

I think at a place like that, unless I pull at least a 12 incher I would C & R. Just my opinion.

man i just want to catch a big one:shock::lol:
those little fellas are fun, but then they get boring ...
p.s. i was told that the trout that just got dumped keep having by the bank for a few days after release, so that sometimes caught me fish..

out of all the people that fish there only a select few are C & R ing. and the fact that the minimum length is only 8 inches doesn't help either. Went there again, and the fishing is great. caught 5 and released 4. One was hooked in the stomach. poor thing.
