U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lakes exist first and foremost as flood control reservoirs. Their potential for recreation is a secondary consideration.
But that doesn’t mean it gets ignored. Many of these lakes offer good fishing and boating, often with hiking, hunting, picnicking and the like added on. Such is the case with Prompton Lake.

They’re native to parts of Pennsylvania, now available in additional places thanks to stocking, grow to big sizes and – let’s be honest – are just flat out cool looking in a fierce kind of way.
You’d think such a fish would draw a large following. For whatever reason, though, northern pike are not universally loved. But I’ve always liked fishing for them – tossing jerkbaits when they’re in the shallows in spring is tremendous fun – and try to do so regularly. One good place to target them throughout the year is Lily Lake in Luzerne County.

Green Lick Reservoir for an awful long time had the feel of an unwanted stepchild.

There aren’t a lot of fish you can’t catch at Blue Marsh Lake. The 1,150-acre U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lake in Berks County is considered home to one of the most diverse fisheries in southeastern Pennsylvania.
But three species really stand out. One of those – the only one of the three supported by natural reproduction – is channel catfish. Blue Marsh is loaded with them. Behind bluegills and, in some years, crappies, they are in fact among the most populous fish in the lake.

When it comes to investing, the best time to buy in is when a product or service is on the proverbial “ground floor.” That gets you in the game and ready to reap the maximum benefits the minute things take off.
If you understand that, you understand why now is the time to buy in on Tamarack Lake.
