There’s something magical about spending a weekday morning at Leaser Lake in Lynn Township after the weekend crowds subside.

Just ask Joe Klach.

Over the years, Klach, who proudly labels himself “a scientific angler,” has spent countless hours fishing at the lake.

“I’ve taken my passion and my science degree to catch fish,” he explained.

For him, fishing at Leaser Lake is an organic experience.

As a careful observer of certain conditions including wind, sun and even the phases of the moon, he has been able to maximize his love for fishing at the lake.

“I fish out of a tube,” explained Klach, who also describes himself as a “passionate float tuber.”

Though Klach enjoys fishing for all that swims at Leaser Lake, he admits to particularly succumbing to musky fever.

“Once you catch a musky, you can never go back,” he said, with a grin.

Klach is not the only one to find fishing at Leaser a rewarding experience.

“I just love getting in a couple of hours of fishing in before picking the kids up at the bus stop,” said Karl Kozlowski, after catching a few bass one September morning.

“You can’t keep anything you catch, but I like catching and that’s 90 percent of the fun,” he said.

Though fishing is a definite draw for some, others find different ways of enjoying the idyllic setting at Leaser Lake.

The mother-daughter team of Margie and Megan Matus could not resist taking their kayaks for a peaceful experience.

“We arrived around 11:30 today (Sept. 16), but we usually come here about every two weeks,” Margie Matus said.

For them, their time on the lake was more than rewarding.

“We saw a lot of turtles and a blue heron,” Megan Matus said, as she rowed her inflatable kayak to shore.

Bob and Doris Fix drove from Schwenksville to enjoy a similar experience.

Bob Fix heads a sportsmen’s association and he knows a good thing when he sees it.

“We rode our Harley’s yesterday and scouted it out,” Doris Fix said as her husband helped her to dock her kayak.

“We decided to come especially today because we knew there wouldn’t be many people out on the lake,” she said.
