If that’s the spot I’m thinking of it’s a very heavily flyfished area. They’ve probably seen every fly known to man, especially the older fish.The next time you go walk up north of the Rt.9 bridge the Y Pool is about a mile up the path. Your son will love it. Fly Fish Only, Catch and Release open year round. Very large fish , however it can be frustrating because they have a way of ignoring you.
... That, or try the Canal for some stripers?
Live baitI’ve been out probably 6-8 times for bass this year and haven’t caught any at all! I’ve tried all my go tos: Texas rugged worms, senkos, Ned rigs, square bills, spinner baits, frogs, spooks....what am I missing???

I caught a lot of bluegill on worms when I was a kid but barely any bass. Normally I can figure out a way to catch at least a small one, but it’s been a really tough spring so far. The worst part is that I’ve seen a lot of people catching them.Son caught them on a little reflective shad lure.
Some people swear by night crawlers.
Was it a floating or a diver?The kid just caught another today using a Rapala double jointed pickerel lure.
Got a question for you guys. Although I have not seen any in my lake for quite some time, I am looking to identify a fish we used to take in quantity. We would catch and release on ultra light tackle. The fish was about 9-10" long, shaped like a bluegill but had golden sides with black spots all over. They only held in a couple spots in the lake and were schooling fish. Any guesses?
