Rating - Fair
Wednesday, Jul 01 2020
Fishing remains good to excellent for fat, healthy rainbow trout from 14 to 21 inches. Trout have started to move off shore and are providing good success for boat and float tube anglers. Streamers (wooly buggers, leeches) work really well, while other popular trolling lures should also work. Midge hatches are common now, so you could also find some dry fly action during the morning or evening. Smallmouth bass and wipers should start getting active soon as the water continues to warm up. Remember that special fishing regulations are in place at Minersville Reservoir. You may only fish with artificial flies and lures (no bait). This also means that scented and salted plastics are not allowed. You may only keep one trout over 22 inches in length - all trout less than 22 inches must be released.

Weather Report
Minersville WeatherAccess Info
Trout fishing should start to improve with cooling water temperatures. Some trout can be caught trolling in deep water. Also look for hatches in the early morning and late evening. Smallmouth bass are active and can be caught on crayfish-imitating tackle. Wipers are most active at sunup or sundown and can be caught trolling or casting topwater lures. Wipers are also doing fantastic, with 4- to 6-pound fish abundant. We also saw a few larger wipers, up to 8 pounds.Minersville
