Sorry to hear about the skunk (which reminds me I got skunked yesterday morning & need to add it to the fishing log). How big is the lake they're draining?

Ya, the skunk monkey struck me Saturday afternoon. Hit a pond that holds monster brown trout, but I couldn't buy a bite

Ooooh that smell, I got it on me friday, did a little better yesterday with 2cats, This time of year is often tricky for anywhere that has an abundance of pray, there was so many bait fish i dont think they were interested in anything i threw.

starve is about 100 acres give or take and is considerd one of if not the best little lakes in the area,my personal best of 6.3 came from there.my PBest brown trout came when i lived in western NY it was a even 24 inch.but if memory serves i took a few skunkings back then too.it just makes the good days even sweeter.

Skunks,stink.Hope you had a great day on the water .

Ahhh....if we caught fish every time we went, it wouldn't be fun anymore. I'll have to let dad know they're draining the lake. If you happen to run across any more info regarding it, please post it, I'd be interested in it. I've been there hundreds of times over the course of my life.

You'll get 'em next time :wink:

If they're doubling the daily limit, sounds like they want to get the fish out of there for some reason, maybe Dam trouble?

Very possible. There is a dam (lake, whtever) close by me in PA that they have already lowered the water level. The size and creel limts were suspended in April in preperation for draining the lake this fall sometime. I haven't been there but anything and size and as many as you want is a tempting call. This lake must be drained to repair an usafe dam breast that was leaking pretty bad and in danger of a possible break. I guess the more people ctch and keep, the less they need to worry about later, if they worry at all.
