Green Lane Reservoir, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania     Custom Search User input for Green Lane Reservoir, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania: Jerry: I think it is awesome that people are passionate about bowfishing for carp in Green Lane.  I am an avid bass fisherman and have been on the water and witnessed my brother catch an 8.9 lb. Carp on fishing tackle.  We want nothing to do with these fish. I have also seen on more the one occasion large shools of 10 or more carp swimming together.  I believe that bowfishing these fish is the only way to keep their already growing population from getting out of control. Brad: I understand if you don't like bowfishing but saying there's a lack of skill in shooting them is wrong. I fish an bowfishing. Pursuing the fish and hitting underwater with light refraction is quite challenging. (...) As for carp not hurting the lake, there is thousands of pages of unbiased literature on the Internet explaining how wrong you are. Ryan: Why would anyone want to waste such a good game fish? I live to catch carp and release them safely. They are one of the hardest fighting fish you can catch, and then we have some people that go out and kill them with arrows. What do these guys do with the carp other then throw them away? It is wrong to think that carp are the ones that destroy lakes. It's the catfish that are responsible for this. I think that bowfishing should be outlawed so the population stays heavy and the waters are kept clean. Why are these wonderful sport fish allowed to be killed and then dumped in a trash can? Fishing for them is a real competition, not bowfishing for them. When you bowfish for them you can actualy see them. What kind of challenge is that? Gerald Otter: On 10-4-09 there was a bike group said the reserved the whole parking lot on kniggt road, chasing most horse people out of the lot. I did not leave and were treated badly. Why is this possible? I thought that that the park was for every one? Mag Muoio: Was wondering if we can put a pontoon in the lake Vic: Bow-fishing is for the rivers.Not still water.This was no competition.It was a senseless slaughter that should have never happened.Have weigh boats stationed at several spots so the fish can be weighed and releases.Fishing for carp is more fun.You want to bow-hunt for carp .Go to the river that's a challenge.That is the sport. Tom: As vic said what is more logical. Shooting the carp that clean the lake. Or catch the carp take to weigh station weigh and put them back to do there job. And You are so worried about contamination from boats. See what happens when you kill 40% of the carp .Then who is to blame. Vic: And then when you have shot all the carp. Then what is left to shoot. This is utterly silly. Whatever happened to fish for fun. Weigh them record them put them back for next time. This is much better for everybody. Frank Bradley: I would like to thank everyone in charge at Greenlane Reservoir for putting together a great Bowfishing/Rod & reel carp comp. this year. Everyone I saw had a great time fishing. Aaron Gaither, and I rented a boat and Bowfished all day and at the end of the day came out with the largest carp shot with a bow, which was 8.3 lbs. And we also came out with the most fish shot, which was 29 carp. All together we shot 145 lbs of fish from 7:00am to 4:00pm. Thanks again for a great time out on the water. Chuck Johnson: Want to know more about boating and boat rentals.
