Raystown Lake

[Bassload]

Has anybody fished this body of water in Pa? Does it have pike? I'm think about trying it this summer. I have a kayak but I see they rent boats. Which would be better? Thanks in advance.

Never fished it before but I hear that there is land locked strippers in that lake

[Bassload]

You're right Fishon it does have them as well as landlocked salmon! Hopefully someone here can tell me more about the lake.

Landlock stipers would be incedible....How far into PA is it?

[Bassload]

It's a little over 4 hours from NJ. They have pulled stripers out of this lake that weighted over 50 lbs! It's 8300 acres that stretches over 27 miles. Max depth is 200 feet.

Fished there many years ago during the summer by canoe. The Stripers were holding bottom in the deep of the lake . Was downrigger material only. Not much else plugging the shallows. A good topo chart and some local info is highly advisable.
