I think we will be launching further downstream. Such as the fairgrounds or even lower under the 202 bridge.

I have hauled out a tire myself right underneath that bridge.

That TM stretch does seem healthy. Would be cool if that spillway from the ravine lake was open to fishing, along with the whole lake and the whole upper north branch upstream of the lake

I imagine billions of wild browns swimming in peace behind all the posted signs up there !

Fishing is allowed in areas of this Somerset Co. Park below Ravine Lake.

Yep, familiar with that. Some "nice" fish in that stretch

Know anything about the lake itself?

I gave a kid who lived in that community a Senko and a circle hook. The next day he showed me a picture of a 5 pound bass.

Just another dam that needs to be removed to restore Brook Trout populations. Ravine lake is a carp infested swimming hole for the rich.

That’s some primo Smallie water all through there. See any monsters cruising around? Water looks great!
