Fishing tips
by Claude M.Neifert
This past week of ice fishing turned out an exceptionally
large amount of fishermen in Luzerne Co., with Frances
Slocum Dam and Harveys lake running a near tie as to
where you should have been for the best action.
Once again Harveys Lake headed the list with nice
catches of perch, which were caught on the golden grub,
some nice trout, caught with live minnows and red worms,
and last but by no means the least, some very nice catches
of smelt, taken with (mostly) pieces of red worms. (A tip
to persons going for smelt - just watch for the largest
gathering of lights and persons for the best spot of the
evening.)
Frances Slocum Dam again gave nice catches of shite
crappie, on small tear drop lures, used on jigging rods. We
also saw some nice bass here, both large and small mouth
bass, taken with both hardware lures and natural baits
sind nice catches of perch here, again caught mostly on the
en grub while jigging. A few catfish were also caught
on the grub at Slocum. ;
Lake Irene and Sylvan Lake produced some nice trout,
on minnows, and we saw some nice big perch caught at
Sylvan Lake on the grubs.
A note of interest: after examining a very large citation-
sized pickeral caught at Sylvan Lake on a five inch golden
shiner, we found that it contained a freshly eaten nine inch
rainbow trout. \ ;
Lily Lake produced some nice catches of blue gill and
crappie bass, mostly on the small tear drop jigging lure.
We know that many of the larger fish are just waiting in
the smaller lakes. However these do not show the better
returns, simply because, the larger, more popular lakes
are a little easier to get to.
If some of the terminololgy used in our releases is new
or confusing to you, we would like you to attend a free ice
fishing clinic, where everything will be explained in
detail, to be conducted at Frances Slocum Dam. Meet at
park office 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 11. For additional
information call your waterways patrolman.
