Greenwood Lake

[Billr]

I did look and there are some past posts on this. I grew up near Greenwood and my wife and I go up at least once a summer to swim. Cold water. Has anyone caught trout there? And shouldn't this lake be filled with holdover fish since it stays so cold? I've fly fished a couple of times with no luck. Talked to maybe half a dozen faith fishers yesterday and none had caught a trout.

I haven’t fished Greenwood Lake since 1964 with the Boy Scouts on a frozen lake. Caught a nice chain pickerel.
I live in New Jersey but rarely fish freshwater there.

What Greenwood Lake? The only one that I can think of that meets most of your description is the state park in Huntingdon County, PA. Is that where you mean?

If it is, I wouldn't waste time trout fishing there. The water does stay cold, though. I was actually swimming there just last week, and the water in the swimming area DIDN'T feel cold. That doesn't happen, often.

I do believe trout could easily hold over there, though.
