Anyone ever fish keystone state park? Was thinking of heading there tmr. Just wondering if anyone js had any luck thanks.
-
Keystone state park is usually a really good lake to ice fish. This season the lake has had a real slow bite though. Ice is good to go again. Lake is stocked with trout and is a big bass lake.
-
Any suggestions where to fish on the lake for panfish? Thanks
-
Keystone is a very good lake I spend alot of my Time on this lake ice fishing. Mostly because it's close to home and fish this lake alot so I have a really good idea where to catch what usually this year although it's been tuff. I've found if your after trout they usually run in the 6 to 9 fow range at the edges of the channel or edges of the old lake bed. For panfish it's mostly good in the deeper water down towards the dam right around 20fow also this lake has alot of man made structures in it from last time they did a lake draw down and the ice is good I checked it this evening and will probably be heading out tomorrow morning
-
Thanks for the reply! Would over by the logs in the water across from launch by dam be good panfish or in the middle? Thanks!
-
In my opinion the best spot for panfish is down in the corner of the dam on the same side as the boat ramp probably about 30 feet of shore and 30 feet off the dam the water drops to about 22 feet deep we have been marking lots of fish there and I'm not to sure what logs your talking about out from the ramp and also if ur not to fimiliar with this lake watch for the springs there is a good bit
-
Ok thanks again!
-
Can you fish there after dark?
-
Yes u can
-
So farmproduction. Did you make it out to keystone?
-
Ice was that you in the corner at noon today?
-
Yah me and a buddy where in the corner by the dam for about 20 minutes there around noon till we had to go to work
-
No I havnt due to this weather tomorrow looks pretty good! You do any good? How do you think minnows would do on crappie their? Thanks!
-
I would assume that the minnows should do well with the crappie probably will get on the trout with them as well
-
fished from noon to 4 pm. had 1million 200 thousand 45 lookers and no takers. used to slug it out but after 4 hours of fish constantly looking or charging my bait and not takers to old for this. packed it up and left. will be back to settle the score.
-
I got a few down by spillway the other day. Not a soul out! I’ll be up tonight to give it a try again!
-
Yah I'm hoping to make it out this evening as well
-
I drive a red Toyota lmk if you make it out.
-
I'll be out around 3 how is the fishing?
-
Got out to keystone around 330 to find people everywhere. Sadly also where I was hoping to set up bounced around a few spots had some marks and only one bite nothing landed sure hope everyone else was having a better day than I was heading back out around 9 tonight to try and get on them crappie and perch I'm betting the lake won't be as busy lol if anyone wants to join I'll take the company
-
Ice I think you were the last guy on the lake when I left at 9
-
Farm, that was me and my buddy we where the last guys out. I'm taking it you where the gentleman in the tent below us closer to the handicap dock did you get on the fish? we are heading back out again tonight if you want to join going to try and get as much ice action as possible before the rain
-
Yeah that was us in the shady tent but we’re poor college kids😂😂. Got a few perch how about you!
-
I was thinking of hitting keystone tmr after school. You guys think the ice will be alright? Thanks
-
I was thinking of hitting keystone tmr after school. You guys think the ice will be alright? Thanks
Ice will be fine. You get into any crappies yet at Keystone?
-
I would think the ice will be good there is a good possibility that I'll be out after work tomorrow
-
Alright thanks guys! And Yeha 4 seasons a few.
-
Chrome you do any good up their Friday Saturday or Sunday?
-
Friday night did ok moved to another spot for Saturday night and we both did very well lots of marks and hits with a good bit landed where u seen me Friday night if you go there watch there are a few springs close to that area and the ice gets bad quick in that spot
-
Yeah I’ve hit that spot before and where I was friday. I’m hoping it’s fine. What do you think? I’m hoping some others out out!
-
You guys think the ice will be alright tonight even with the Raina nd 60 degrees?
-
I'm hoping so I drove by for work today and didn't see anyone I'm going to check it out about 330 ill let you know what I find I would imagine the ice is still good just might be a bit soft at the edges where it's not as thick if you go out take a buddy and be safe I would stick to the dam side myself seems that's always the better ice after a warm snap
-
Alright thanks I’ll be up about 4 hope it’s good
-
Fished a couple hours after work in front of the down tree adjacent to the boat launch. Lots of dink gills and a couple of trout. It was noce to meet IceColdChrome and TheFarmProduction. Be safe and tight lines
-
Crappiehunter good talking to you and being more than inviting on setting up close to you also thanks for showing me that some of those fish can be hooked not just stealing bait
-
Yup nice seeing you guys! Had a really great night! Best of luck crappie hunter in Maryland! Tight lines!
-
How much ice was left up there?
-
Yesterday I would put it at 5 or 6 of clear still
-
Production what time did they turn on? Where you in the same vicinity that I talked to you.
-
Turned on about 7 in 19 foot of water. I though they were a lot shallower but they ended up out further than expected caught a few! Just glad I got some time out!
-
Waxies with glow tungsten were the ticket! Was real light finesse bite!
-
And I got them in the corner of the damn 25 feet of water suspended in 19 on boat ramp side! Bite where I talked to you wasnt to good only got 2 there.
-
Thinking about sneaking out after work tomorrow has anyone been out since the warm weather I was wondering how the edges held up with the lake water level on the rise
-
I went over to check the ice today about 1:00. There were 3 guys on down by the dam. They said ice was about 4-4 1/2" But there was open water all the way around the shore. Think I'll give it another day or 2.
-
Ok thanks
-
Anyone think the ice is good yet at keystone? Thanks
-
There was a few of us on it this evening the edges where pretty soft the first few feet out after u go on to the ice that held up we had around 6 inches the bit was very tuff we fished from 430 to 6 with only a few hits and not many marks on the flasher
-
Has anybody been out on the lake lately hoping to go out this evening for the night bite if anybody's interested to join let me know
-
Planning in hitting Keystone today after work around 12:30 till dark if anyone wants to link up.
-
You will probably see me out there around 330 or so maybe we can get back on the crappie
-
Be careful edges were gone yesterday when I tried to go out and It wa speedy sketchy
-
Where u able to get on the lake at all?
-
I fished it from 12:30 tI'll 6:30. The edges were ok not great but stiff. I did not have any problem getting on or off. The trout kept me entertained during the daylight once the sun went down the crappie turned on. I probably caught 50 cimbibed. The decent crappie just started to hit when I had to pack up. I did not harvest anything but it was nice to catch some fish.
-
Icecold chrome did you fish the corner by the dam on the boat launch side yesterday?
-
Yes that was me sitting there on my bucket in the corner of the dam fishing was pretty good got lots of crappie 2 perch and a bass most of the crappie where small but was enough to keep me busy I left when the ice started popping pretty bad
-
She was deffinately making some noise. It was bouncing more then I have ever experienced. I was in mt shanty across from you.
-
Buying bait today and the lady said she heard someone fell through the ice yesterday and had to be rescued. Anyone else hear this?
-
Heard nothing. I was out there Monday and I spudded everywhere I walked. But it was all solid. I would be curios to know where they went throught.
-
That’s what I thought Saturday the ice was plenty thick enough. Maybe the lady heard wrong
-
If it did happen I would be willing to bet it was by the bridge.
-
That’s what I thought maybe kids messing around I had some kids just park and walk across the lake I think just to do it
-
I asked a few guys that work out there at the park and they didn't know anything about some one going threw the ice but they did say something about a guy going threw the power dam ice Tuesday evening Maybe this is what your hearing about
-
I took my son and one of his buddies out fishing for my sons birthday spend 12 hours trout bite in the day was ok but crappie really turned on a night. We caught a bunch and 12 over 12” and 4 over 14” it was a great time for my son special day. Ice was around 6” but with the rain and warm weather not looking good. If I ever figure out how to send pictures from my iPhone I’ll post some.

Won't be on this lake again this season is is 90%gone and the lake is flooded big time did fish open water and even fished on the road where it's flooded and landed a small rainbow
