Has anyone noticed a huge increase in the number of smallmouth bass being harvested from the dredge pool at Warren? I've made five trips to that area this fall and during each I've noticed numerous Amish individuals catching and keeping stringers of fish. I'm not sure if they are exceeding the 4 fish limit but I can guess that they have been fishing on more days than I've been there. That said, that could amount to a harvest of hundreds of smallmouth from a single pool. This pool has always been a haven for large numbers of bass in the fall and with the stable weather and water levels this year, fishing this area has been easy. I'd guess that this ridiculous harvest rate will have a long term impact on the fishing here for years to come.
