My wife had a family reunion in Minersville this weekend. My grandson and I were able to slip in a little fishing between other events. Friday--my wife wanted to drive up into the mountains east of Beaver. She said that her dad used to have a cabin up there, though she didn't know where. We fished Kent's Lake for a couple of hours. It was pretty slow. Even though a lot of fish were rising we only managed to catch 2 and one of those was caught by snagging the 30 yards of line the fish was dragging around.
Saturday morning--Started early at Minersville Res. We fished off the dam. There were a lot of chubs feeding along the shoreline. I did catch one but the flies that I was using were a little big for the chubs. We also caught 11 rainbows. We didn't measure them but I would estimate that they were between 18 and 24 inches. My grandson weighed the biggest two They went 2#-7oz and 2#-3oz. The rest were all really skinny. They looked like snakes.
Saturday evening--The wind was really blowing and the shoreline was pretty muddy. We caught one rainbow and one small smallmouth.
Sunday morning--A lot of big fish rising but they were not in the mood to bite. We caught 2 rainbows, a chub, and a smallmouth. .
