the lakes in morrisville

Never fished there but I just peaked at Google Earth. There's a few lakes there. We have nothing around us. The Skippack and Perkiomen Creeks and The Schuylkill. Nothing for lakes. Closest Lakes are Green Lane, Marsh Creek and Blue Marsh. 45 minutes to an hour for each.

That's about 20 minutes north of me. Hooked a musky in Green Lane when I was a kid and lost it at the boat. They catch a lot of muskies in Marsh Creek. I see them cruising the shore line when I'm crappie fishing. They eat a couple crappies and they're done eating for a week.

There were musky in Perkiomen Creek but I have not fished it in years. In fact there were some in the Schuylkill at the mouth of the Perkiomen.

When I was a pup, there was a stretch of the Perky called "Musky Run". I believe it was in Schwenksville. They removed all the dams and now the creek is too shallow for most of the stretch. Where it feeds the Skuke, I can see there still being musky. That's in Oaks, I believe. I'll have to explore on a kayak this summer.

It is Oaks. My grandparents lived right where the Perk met the river a long time ago.

Again not 57 but I’m determined to get my little some fish this year. We are hitting it a couple days a week. Took my nephew out Monday an we slayed them

I live 3 miles from Oaks. My son and I have fished near the junction of the Perky and the Skuke. You can fish under the bridge that goes to the expo center from Pawlings. The actual junction is sewer authority property on two sides and private houses on the other.

Another one for tonight

There is or was an old stone house on the water authority property. BTW I remember that property being a quarry. That was my grandparent's house.

3030 - good job getting the kids on some bass.

We will be up hitting the Susquehanna in just about a month. Can’t wait

I was going to explore the Delaware River around New Hope this weekend. The weather is supposed to be crap, though. Rain tomorrow, snow Saturday. Conditions will probably be rough.

I may do a little project this weekend. I have a sit-in kayak what I never use because you can't fish out of it. Thinking about elevating the seats and adding some rod holders. Turning it into a fishing machine. I can hit some local streams this summer.

 

[Bowhunter3030]

A good fishing buddy of mine hits that part of the Delaware. It’s good. I wouldn’t come out this way this weekend for that though if the weather man is right. I have fished up there a lot too it’s not too far from me. You have a good chance at walleye up there too

 

[Bowhunter3030]

Find the new hope walk bridge an fish the nj side. I’ve caught walleye there

You guys fish the trout opener up north or down south? I'm not really a fan of opening morning anywhere, but I'll probably go later in the day when the crowds die somewhat.

 

[Bowhunter3030]

I’m not a big trout guy. I buy a stamp every year but we are usually fishing for pike an stuff. I’ll probably keep it for upstate with my little one.

Love the camp opener, buttt, this year with the early opener we’re staying south. I found the Sullivan county streams don’t start getting good till Turkey opens.

You don't have to come down too far off the mountain for good trout fishing. Fishing Creek in Benton and Pine Creek in Shickshinny are awesome spots if you're in the area!
