Are any of you fishing the porcupine cribs we installed ? If you can not find them, I posted the GPS locations on this site quite a while back.

What are you fishing for, pan fish, bass or catfish, 99situner knows the lake pretty good, maybe he can help you out. He checks the message board several times a week so keep checking back, rtherbe also fish's there but don't know how often he checks the board but somebody should be able to give you some info to get you started.

it depends what you want to fish for, if u want carp and catfish, you can go anywhere, bluegills and crappies you can do good around the boat launch and all along the houses to the left side. you can usually pick up perch trolling nite crawlers in about 6' of water, which is a majority of the lake. Of course i have my spots, but what fun would it be if i told you exactly WHERE the fish were, the lakes pretty small, just takes time to get to know the bumps along the bottom that hold fish. there isnt really much structure to fish, so any spots that are shallow and drop off significantly (which at struble is like 2-3 feet) usually concentrate some fish.

Lets put it this way, if anybody is catching any walleye they aren't talking. The last time I heard of any walleye being caught was through the ice and I can't remember if it was this past winter or the winter before.

Well as for walleye, I've fished the lake pretty heavy these past few years, and still have yet to see a walleye. Now just this week someone told me they caught a 'small' walleye earlier in the week, which kind of brings up a predicament....if people are catching small walleye, then there must be BIG walleye reproducing, which would make me want to think that there has to be some kind of population of them in there if they are going to reproduce. So i would be willing to doubt the truth in that, and last year I had someone tell me they caught small ones all night long in this one spot (and i knew where they were) and fished there myself the next day, and caught perch all day long, so I would be willing to bet some people are getting small perch mistaken for walleye, since they do have a similar style about them, so coming from me, id say, if you feeling lucky, go walleye fishing, and if you catch one PUT IT BACK!!!!! good luck

Struble Lake
Chester County April 7, 2004 Sampling Technique: Night Electrofishing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Biologists from the Area 6 Fisheries Management Division conducted a night electrofishing survey on Struble Lake as the first step in a planned comprehensive lake survey scheduled for 2004. Walleye and yellow perch were the only fish species targeted during this phase of the survey.
Dusk at Struble Lake
Overall the walleye catch was average when compared to other lakes in southeast Pennsylvania. During the survey the biologists captured 28 walleye per hour of electrofishing effort. In other southeast Pennsylvania lakes the average catch of walleye is 27 per hour of electrofishing effort. Although Struble Lake was average as far as the total number of walleye collected the number of larger walleye present in the population was above average. During the survey the biologists collected 27 walleye per hour that were at least 15 inches long and 19 walleye per hour that were at least 20 inches long. In southeast Pennsylvania lakes the average catch of walleye 15 inches long or longer is 20 fish per hour with 5 fish per hour being at least 20 inches long. The largest walleye collected during the survey was 25 inches long and weighed 6.6 pounds. Anglers targeting walleye should consider visiting Struble Lake.

The yellow perch population at Struble Lake was below average in both total numbers and the number of fish 10 inches long and longer. The electrofishing survey collected 31 yellow perch per hour of effort compared to a southeast Pennsylvania average of 90 yellow perch per hour of effort. Only 2 yellow perch longer than 10 inches were collected during this survey for a catch rate of 1 fish per hour of effort. The southeast Pennsylvania average is 2 fish per hour of effort. The largest yellow perch collected during this survey was 13 inches and weighed 0.9 pounds.

Although largemouth bass were not the targeted species during this survey a few large individuals up to 20 inches long were collected. Other fish species collected included bluegill, black crappie, channel catfish, brown bullhead, and carp. Future surveys planned for the spring and summer of 2004 will focus on the bass and panfish populations.
