Yesterday I decided to finally check out Council Run since it is on the Class A list, and because I read some positive things contained in Beech Creek Watershed reports. I am a small stream brookie nut, and I can tell you something is quite off with this place. I don't think my lack of success had anything to do with the weather...the stream just seems devoid of any life. 1.5 miles of stream fished and not a single hit or glimpse of any fish whatsoever. I passed all kinds of natural gas pipelines within the watershed. Has anyone had a similar experience here recently? By contrast, I went to another brookie haunt about 30 minutes away and was able to salvage the day. I can accept the fact that it may have just been a "bad" day on Council Run. If it is something else, I'd like to know what that is and how I can help. The stream is just too pretty for such a poor showing.
