The dams Kaufmann referred to are York Haven, Safe Harbor and Holtwood. "The best fishing occurs below the dams between Harrisburg and the Maryland state line," he said. Kaufmann said the Susquehanna River downriver from Harrisburg would continue to honor its tradition as a solid walleye producer. The lake lies in Schuylkill County off of Route 54 at Barnesville. Tuscarora Lake covers about 100 acres and is limited to electric motors and non-powered boats.
Recent angler catch rates in Tuscarora Lake indicate that a good percentage of those walleyes have survived to create a decent population. Kaufmann said that three years ago, when the commission surveyed the lake last, there were good numbers of sub-legal walleyes. "Whereas walleyes were an occasional catch in the past, the fishery is now one where anglers are targeting the fish, and catching enough of them to keep it interesting." "Things have been on the upswing," said the biologist. Mike Kauffman, a PFBC area fisheries manager, advised anglers from the southeastern portion of the state to check out Tuscarora Lake, found in the state park of the same name. "They also have a lot of forage - mainly alewives - that keep the walleyes well fed," he noted. Wnuk added that two lakes in his district, Harvey's Lake and Francis Slocum Lake, also have good walleye populations.
Public access areas on the North Branch include Bloomsburg, West Falls, White's Ferry, Tunkhannock, Apple Tree and Union Township. There's also good shoreline fishing in many areas. Jet boats are necessary to run the shallower areas. Like the middle Allegheny, portions of the North Branch can be run wit
