Delaware Towpath in Lower Bucks

[thebassman]

Hey guys,

I am curious on the pickerel population in the towpath in Lower Bucks. I am going to be able to go out on Monday and was debating if I try my luck for pickerel or drive a bit for trout.

I have never caught a pickerel on the fly and really want to give it a go, but curious on the population density of the fish. Are there just a few in the canal, or will it be worth a day walking and fishing for them?

I used to live in Newtown, Washington Crossing, and Yardley. I don't ever remember anyone ever talking about pickerel being there. I have no experience there either.

I haven't fished that area in years. Do remember catching a couple on minnows. They are definitely a blast on a fly rod. I've caught most of mine either in lakes in the Poconos or the ponds and lakes in South Jersey.
