The latest Regional fishing reports for Pennsylvania have been posted on the PFBC website. There not real specific but they are useful for letting you know in general how the fishing has been in particular regions of Pennsylvania. I like the reports because sometimes I learn of new lakes or stream.

Harrisburg, PA - Memorial Day weekend will provide a great opportunity for anglers fishing Cumberland County’s Opossum Lake. Starting Saturday, May 24, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) will temporarily suspend all seasons, sizes and creel limits at the popular lake.
“We’re taking this action in preparation for a fish salvage to be conducted this fall in conjunction with the complete dewatering of the lake,” said Dr. Douglas Austen, PFBC Executive Director. “Enhancing opportunities for anglers to harvest fish prior to salvage efforts provides both additional recreational opportunities and can help reduce the number of fish that will either be captured and transported or potentially stranded when the water level drops.”
The Commission has not established a date for the fish salvage efforts but it will occur sometime in the fall. The lake is being dewatered as the first step in rebuilding the leaking spillway. A routine assessment of the earthen embankment by the PFBC in September 2005 revealed small seeps in the dam’s spillway.

Hills Creek Lake is managed with conventional panfish regulations, so it served as a control water for the statewide study.
