Latest biologist report from the PFBC

I’ve heard great things about Blue Marsh Lake and the fishing there. The latest survey the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat commission sheds some light on how anglers feel about regulations on the lake. Quite honestly, I found some of the findings very interesting.
PFBC 2008 Biologist Report - Blue Marsh Lake Crappie Angler Survey
Blue Marsh Lake is a 1,150-acre impoundment constructed from 1974 to 1979 by the US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) on Tulpehocken Creek in western Berks County. The lake is located approximately 6 miles northwest of the City of Reading and is partially bordered by State Route 183. As an ACOE impoundment the primary function of the lake is flood control followed by water supply, water quality control, and recreation. Blue Marsh Lake experiences a five-foot draw down each fall and winter to provide flood protection to downstream areas. Additionally, lake depth occasionally fluctuates depending upon climatic conditions (precipitation).
