Colyer Lake
« on: Oct 21, 2005, 12:44 PM »
Report from the PFC website:

"Colyer Lake has been partially drawn down due to the condition of the dam. The lake will remain drawn down until funding is available to rebuild the dam."

I know they draw the lake down frequently, but it looks like it may be drawn down for a while. 

Jim, don't you fish this lake?  I just looked and it is no further for me than to go to Bald Eagle (about an hour drive).  I will have to hit this lake a few times this winter.  How's the fishing here?

Russ, the last time I drove by it looked to be the same level as last winter. It would be a great place to take your son and let him run after the flag's. There are a ton of 14 to 17" pickerel. I got a few great perch but some very small one's also. Fishtales and Mr. buster say there are alot of good gill's in it but I didn't find any last year. I was only there 2 times though.

Looks like I'll be hitting the ice here more than last year because the water has been drawn down in Perez.  Lots of pick's like CC says, some bass, some nice perch and a some tiny perch, and some crappies.  There are some really nice gills in there to but I don't know how the fishing will be for them this year.  I fished from shore a few times this fall after I came back to school and the gills I got were all starved looking.  Never seen a bluegill so thin, you could see their ribs.  Oh ya, there are 3 biiigggg gold fish too.  good fishin

Good luck getting them "Goldies" Chimo. I saw two of them the other year and they aren't coming thru a 6" hole for sure :o
