Without a significant amount of rain/snow this winter Minersville will not be much of a fishery next year. The water is very low and will continue to decrease until October 31st. Remember that on November 1st the regulations will be back in place and the bait-masters crew will have to find somewhere else to fish. One of my greatest fears is that a bunch of chubs will be flushed into the lake once they quit irrigating. I'm not sure there is enough of a predator base left in the lake to keep them in check. The river above and below Minersville is full of chubs just waiting to find a new home. The last few years the various bass species and larger trout really kept the chubs in check. I'm not sure that will happen now. Only time will tell.
