I had a couple of free hours today and went scouting around for something new. Just for giggles I went for a walk around Mill Run Reservoir. I saw a pod of fish, probably about 20 all together each over 2 ft long slowly cruising about 50 ft of shore. What were they?
They were big, they had deeply forked tails and they were not fat. Carp would be the first thing in my mind but they were long and skinny. Not gar skinny but definitely did not look like mutated goldfish. Do pike/musky travel in schools? I watched them for a while with my bino's but couldn't say 100% what they were. They definitely had an essox look to them.
Also anyone know about the water down below the dam? I hiked it, it looked fishy but didn't have my rod so could not test the hypothesis.
