Monkee:
I live in Ohio. My grandpa used to always take me to Springton when I was a young buck to fish. I came up there last week and it was a total bummer.
Nick:
Is this true? You can't fish there anymore? What a shame? I fished there for over 20 years and it was always a great place to go.
Nick D:
Ya I live in newtown square. I use to go fishin down there with my dad. Now I have to drive like 30 min to fish somewhere like is
Bill:
I don't think fishing at the resevoir should just be for the rich who can afford to live in the luxery houses. Water and nature should belong to everyone! 911 is just an excuse to not let people around the rich houses.
Kim,also from newtown square:
First of all,I don't know how anyone thinks they're going to be protecting anyone from ''terrorists'' by closing the reservoir an banning fishing,''FISHING!''to everyone and most importantly us locals. That really has to be some kinda joke cause no human being can be that dumb to think banning fishing is going to save the people! And as far as lawsuits go, put up a big sign so everyone can see ''FISH AT YOUR OWN RISK WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE'' And have every individual sign a paper stating just that! There problem solved, and for the people that live on the reservoir, you do not own it, so when you see someone fishing there {and you know who you are} Lets NOT call the guy in the little white truck to REPORT a fisherman. GROW UP! I always fished in the reservoir and still do and I would now love for my kids to enjoy it as much as I did. Maybe half the kids wouldn't be on drugs today if they could go right in there backyards and enjoy ''WATER''. See Ya At The Res.!
phisha:
Catch'n macker's daily! Go (…) deep you'll get em!
jordan kerr:
i think we should be able to fish resrovir because they have the best and biggest fish around and i go with my brother and his friend all the time and not 2 long ago a guy pulled out a huge muskee and and my brother chought a nice size catfish and we catch alot of bass. i think as long as we release the fish when we catch them just put it back.
Phil from newtown sq.:
The reason fishing has been banned in the resivore is because of the BS after 9-11. the water company is affraid of terrorists putting stuff in the water. which pisses me off cause why would somone pose as a fisherman to do that?? wouldnt they think they would sneak in at night n do it? my uncles best friend works for the water comapany so he found this out for me. i go wherever n fish wherever, right out in the open right off of the main roads atleast twice a week. only once so far ive been kicked out, and thats all they do is tell you to leave. ive been fishing there since i was 3. the 44 inch tiger muskee on my wall came from that body of water and im never gonna stop fishing there.
ps: the bass have been nailing the rattle traps underneath the bridges lately. Beleive it or not though, the biggest large mouth ive ever caught was in the willows pond in july and ive only been fishing there for about 2 years..
joe ward:
i fish the res every day, i will never stop. and when the guy comes in his little white truck and tells me to leave i go to the other side lol. the reason they closed it is when aqua bought it off of philadelphia suburban water company it was right around 9/11. so then they had a big idea that someone was going to try and kill off all of delco and poision the water. so thatd why were not allowed there, but you can find me there every single day after work. i was there earlier today, cought 6 huge bass, the water level is so low you can see 2 foundations of old stone homes that once stood where the water usually is now
snappablue@yahoo.com:
hey please drop me an e-mail, if you want your name to be on a list to send to whoever we need to, to get (legal)access to fish here again, Like everyone I just have had a ball at the rez all my life-so we dont need to deal with this-this is america
Jason:
I totally agree i live in delaware county and after the middle of may and the temperature starts to get warm the small creeks are no good for fishing, and fishing liscences are so expensive and unless your willing to drive long distances its becomming pointless. i as well spent years fishing the resevior, it was a beautiful place to spend the day.... please reconsider whatever stupid reason is for not letting people fish. if you drive 45 minutes down route 1 to the octarora resevoir they let you fish there so there is no logical reason for not allowing people to enjoy something that should belong to everyone.
Michael Cook:
Stopping fishing at the resevoir is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. The reason they banned fishing is because all these high priced a**holes who live around there complained about the people. I think we all should complain to be able to fish again because it is the best fishing spot in this area.
Rich Tiriris:
John,
Recently I took my daughter age 11 out to Springton Reservior for a day of fishing, nature, etc.. Now it's been over 20 years since I have fished there. Man has the surrounding landscape changed. Big mansions surround the lake and everyone around is driving a big mercedes or lexus looking down their noses at us in our recently restored '65 VW camper bus. I live in Delaware county and this was always a nice place to go. I guess the water co. is afraid of lawsuits. That's my guess.
Best regards!!!
Rich
