WHAT?? Are you asking if you can fish it ? Reread your post and see if it makes any sense to you.

I think you meant Camp Brule...near shunk, pa sullivan co...name of lake is stillwater lake...camped there yrs ago...dont know if you can fish it though...? is that what your post meant?

I think Rebel is correct.  There is a Camp Brule (pronounced BROO-LAY) in Sullivan County.  I camped there several times when I was a Boy Scout 20+ years ago.  We always did the trip in January or February.  Sledding, ice skating, ice hockey, football on a frozen lake with 18+ inches of snow, endless snowball fights followed by hot cocoa and a hot meal in a warm cabin with a group of friends - NOBODY ever missed that trip!  If I had been able to add ice fishing to that glorious list of activities, my Mom may have had to drag me away from that camp kicking and screaming...
 
I am not sure if they allow non-scouters to fish there, but I do remember fishing it as a kid with some pretty fair success in the open water but never through the ice.  There were pickerel, gills and perch plus it was stocked with trout.  Best option is to call the camp HQ and ask or better yet, get involved with a scout troop and offer to do a weekend workshop on ice fishing with a group of kids.  I'm sure it would be a weekend they'd never forget.

Actually, the name of the Lake at Camp Brule is Elk Lake. I was a counselor for the 4-H campers there for a number of years, and had permission to ice fish the lake. The kiwanis club also holds a winter fest at Camp Brule and they have an ice fishing derby.

you re right supernut...name is elk lake...I was thinking about the other boy scout camp in mt pocono...camp minsi..I believe the name of that lake was stillwater...as far as the derby at brule, when is it? any info?

[SuperX2Nut]

I don't know much about it. The last year I was home before I went back to school, the derby was cancelled due to poor ice. I think that would have been 2009. Check out the Sullivan Review.
