Welcome

Welcome to the new Reel Fish'n. We figured the site was overdue for a face lift so enjoy your new watering hole / online fishing paradise / fish information page / website / whatever... you get the idea! With that being said you realize you've come across Western PA's top fishing website. We enjoy being the underground source on fishing. A small and fun group talking fishing! We plug a lot of good information into our pages but where you are going to find the most updated information is the Forum. It's free to register!
Thanks for stopping in.

Join in the fishing talk to help us promote the site, fishing, and the outdoors. Our goal here is to make the time off the water almost as enjoyable as time spent on it. Take a kid fishing, enjoy the outdoors, and always Keep It Reel!

Fish Oil - whats in those pills?

Picture
Fish oil is oil derived from the tissues of oily fish. Fish oils contain the omega-3 fatty acids eicosa pentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosa hex aenoic acid (DHA), perceed of certain eicosanoids that are known to reduce inflammation throughout the body, and are thought to have many health benefits.

Fish do not actually produce omega-3 fatty acids, but instead accumulate them by consuming either micro algae or prey fish that have accumulated omega-3 fatty acids, together with a high quantity of antioxidants as iodide and selenium, from microalgae, where these antioxidants are able to protect the fragile polyunsaturated lipids from per oxidation.Fatty predatory fish like sharks, sword fish, tilefish, and albacore tuna may be high in omega-3 fatty acids, but due to their position at the top of the food chain, these species can also accumulate toxic substances (Credited Wiki)

Menhaden fish
Menhaden fish is a popular fish that fish oil comes from.  are small oily-fleshed fish, bright silver and characterized by a series of smaller spots behind the main, Humeral spot. They vary in size but maximum size around 15inches. They are very popular among the gulf and atlantic ocean a booming industry for the fish oil manufactories. Menhaden reproduce year around with the fall being the highest spawning rates. The Atlantic menhaden usually do not become sexually mature until the end of their second year, after which they reproduce until death. A young, sexually mature female can produce roughly 38,000 eggs, while a fully mature female can produce upwards of 362,000. they travel in large, slow moving, and tightly packed schools with open mouths feeding mostly on zooplankten. Menhaden have been called 'the most important fish in the sea for the commercial fishing industry and food chain among the fisheries. The next time you swallow that pill, think about the little fish that make help make up these pills and all the health benefits these little fishes bring. RF solutes you Menhaden!

Shenango River Trout Stocking
It's that' time of the year where we start planning our spring fishing trip. Don't think you need to wait till April to get fish on that line. The warm winter weather has provided with us with a extended season for trout fishing and right about now some local watering holes are getting stocked. 
Be sure to read up on any special regulations on trout fishing this time of the year. Some areas are lure fishing only along with limited keepers.
