Kettle Creek, Pensylvania Fishing Report

My recent absent mindedness created an opportunity of a buddy and I to get in some extra fishing this week. I had been fishing this past weekend near the Kettle Creek area and stopped for a bite to eat at the Kettle Creek Inn. To make a long story short, I left my new “guide series” wading jacket hanging in the restaurant. A quick call to the Inn verified that my jacket was in fact still there safe and sound so my fishing buddy and I headed out to retrieve my jacket and take a quick trip to the creek to see if we could entice some Kettle Creek smallies. Well, it wasn’t the best day on the water I’ve ever had but it definitely was a learning experience We fished a small stretch of kettle creek for about 1.5 hours and came up with only 3 smallmouth bass for out efforts.

PFBC 2008 Biologist Report - Lackawanna Lake

PFBC 2008 Biologist Report - Lackawanna Lake

Area 4 biologists completed the field work portion of a three-year study on Lackawanna Lake crappies during the week of April 21, 2008. This state park lake located about seven miles north of Scranton continued to support excellent numbers of crappie and bluegill. As was the case in 2007, 7 to 9 inch fish dominated the crappie population (Figure 1) and 6 to 8 inch fish dominated the bluegill population in 2008 (Figure 2). The complete list of fish caught during the survey is in Table 1. Included in the catch were two 28 inch chain pickerel that probably weighed about eight pounds each. The current state record chain pickerel weighed 8 pounds, 14.8 ounces and was caught at Long Pond, Wayne County, in 2002.
