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.

Lake Delmont
 | This lake is called ''Lake Long''. It is located at Delmont Scout Reservation. It was created in 1947 by damming the Unami (until 1917-Swamp) Creek. It was named in honor of Harvey Long, the first ranger at Camp Delmont. Harvey's family lived in the area for many years. I believe his father fought in the Civil War, in the 28th PA infantry.
The Unami Creek was once the site of a thriving gun powder industry from about 1776-1900. The surrounding area is now a popular spot for fishing, hiking, cycling, etc. And still retains a pastorial atmosphere, with little change to the landscape from time immemorial.
-Mike Comfort, author: ''A Whale Boat on the Unami-stories and legends from a time long ago'', c. 1991.

Unami Creek
| Ive run the reach once. When I ran the Unami the Perkiomen was at 8,000 cfs, is this the guage you used Don? Or is there an on site guage somewhere we didnt see. The two largest rapids were really sic, we portaged the first and I ran the top half of the second and took out in a microeddy before the nar. Truely an awesome reach, email me sometime at mrz2@lehigh.edu if you plan on running it, Id love to fire it up again....Undercut rocks are the name of the game on this creek.
The creek is very narrow, boulder-clogged, continuous and flashy. The general rule is that heavy rain in Quakertown will result in paddleable water on the Unami in Sumneytown within three hours.
Read Getler's description and scout all of the rapids prior to running them.
My friends and I have paddled this stretch many times around 1.5 feet and 2.5 feet, which is low and scratchy; if you are going to run it above 3 feet, I'd recommend bomber-creek skills as eddies are few and far between.... |
