Well thats good to know, maybe i will bring up my 12' aluminum boat to scout out the area for the first time.
I do most of my fishing at Glendale lake in Prince Galitzin State Park (Cambria County). Reason being is my Dad has a nice 20' pontoon that they keep docked up there. We do really well up there right at Ice off for pike. We generally use our 9' inflatable pontoons that time of year but we also use my 12ft aluminum boat too. Come May though we put in the big pontoon and get our bass on!
I also like to fish the smaller dams around my area also. I like wilmore dam, beaver run dam and colver dam, all in Cambria County. I also like to fish Yellow creek in Indaina county. Once in a while i like to take a road trip to the Pymatuning for bass and walleye. In the spring i like to go up to Presque Isle Bay on lake erie for when the smallmouth come into the bay. In my opinion that is the best bass fishery in the state. If you ever get the chance it is worth the trip. The best thing is you can put any size boat you wan to in the bay because the water normally stays nice and calm in there. I fish may other places but those are my most often visited and fished lakes. This year i plan on adding a few more to my list such as lake arthur, and the keystone power dam. But sometimes its really hard to add new lakes when you have so many other lakes that you already know produce a nice day of fishing.
In PA i think we are very fortunate to have so many places to fish. They may not be very big like other parts of the country but each of the lakes if fish has something different to offer. Which if you ask me i would rather have may different places to fish than just one large lake to fish. Another nice thing about the smaller lakes is that they are fisherman lakes not pleasure lakes. Thats one of the main reasons i do not like going near Raystown dam during the summer.
So where do you do most of your fishing? What do you fish for?
