Thanks Guys Edited November 16, 2017 by DJGeneral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 You have 2 choices of drift for trout. East side up stream from the Game & Fish Clubhouse, or behind the Legion. The 12 Mile creek is very muddy right now. You could try martindal pond for bass or pike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help, looked at some videos on youtube and think ill try that spot near the dam even seen a comment that browns were being caught there yesterday and if that fails ill stroll down to martindale pond like you said Thanks!

Old Ironmaker Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I always drive by there to get to my brothers place. I hope it isn't like it was last week when I went by, it was shoulder to shoulder. Fish early and go slay em' DJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get there early there is parking, but things may have changed since I last stopped there. I'll see if I can get a hold of my brother and ask.

When we did fish there and it was hot there were many cars from NY, PA and Michigan believe it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huzzsaba Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Were you bottom bouncing? Last time I went there a few weeks ago, the dam was wide open due to some construction and the current was too strong. Even the regulars were complaining about the current.

Even then, you were the 5th guy in the row. I know it,s off limits now. When they did close it off ( property owner ) we brought the tinny in there. LOL Those were the days.

LOL Those were the days. LOL Yup! You have to be careful with a boat in there now. With the new technology in reels and longer rods, guys can almost cast halfway across the river and there's guys on both sides! I'll head down there in December/January...less fish but way less guys. A good snow storm or cold snap seems to thin the herd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
