Fished Pottstown today. Never saw so many violations in such a short amount of time.

What area of the stream did you fish - any luck? What violations did you see?

Had even more time to kill and I must say. I'm surprised every kid in Pottstown isn't hooked on fishing. I caught fish on almost every cast. Smallmouth and rock bass was hoping to maybe catch a holdover didn't happen but had fun. Oh did this ystrdy when it wasn't windy like today.

Travel upstream a couple of miles and you might find a holdover or two, plus some wild fish.

Might try that 1 day when I'm up there. Just looked at stocking schedule and Google maps. With the creek being that long anyone know why they only stock the short stretch from rt100 down to the river?

Been catching some big, beautiful rock bass the last few weeks. They can put up a fight. Especially on the light tackle I use.

I didn't check Berks county stocking only Montgomery. If you want some real fun on ultralight tackle throw two 1/64 oz jigs . I caught dbl header rock bass and smallmouth that was fun

My normal gear is 7ft microlight 4lb extra limp test and 2 trout magnet 6-8in apart. Not unless I'm trout fishing then it's only 1 trout magnet. I must say when you get over 1.5lbs on the end of that 1st thing you think please don't break me off.

How do you setup your double rig with trout magnets? I've never tried that.

If you bottom fish with bell sinkers tied to the line I'm guessing you know what a loop knot is . So put line through top trout magnet and let it slide for now. Tie bottom trout magnet with whichever knot you prefer . Back to top trout magnet make a loop knot with the trout magnet bringing trout magnet through the loop twice. If you only bring the magnet through once it will tighten to the line and you dnt want that. Twice through keeps the magnet away from the main line giving a better presentation . Oh make sure you figure out about how far up you want top trout magnet before you knot it. That dbl loop knot does not slide. If you spread them to far apart it hurts casting ability. So me always 6-8in apart.
