Hey PA anglers,

 

I was wondering if any of the old timers remember when the dam was built for Beltzville lake?  What's under there?  Was it mostly farmland or is there a lot of road beds and sunken foundations located around?  Still working on getting electronics setup on my skiff, so I don't really have a lot of insight into what's going on under there structure wise other than knowing the bottom is almost entirely covered with vegetation?

 

Thanks ahead of time!

    Hmm, interesting.  I'm surprised not to see the spawning boxes located in the water right across from the preacher camp launch.

     

    Still interested in what was in the valley that was flooded whenever the dam was built, but this is some great info.  Thanks.
