Even though the local ponds have been stocked TWICE, the trout fishing has been quite slow. We had one report from Twin Lakes yesterday… Don Heller fished from 6:45 am to around noon…. with ONE hit. He didn’t catch a single fish. A similar report came from Joe, who works here at the shop, from Massapequa Resevoir who also fished for a few hours yesterday morning. NOT ONE BITE!
Very unusual for that trout fishing, those fish usually bite as soon as they’re stocked!
Some people have been picking away at the panfish though, especially down the road at Mill Pond. Sounds like the Northern side of the pond has been pretty relaible for those using Waxworms and Nightcrawlers.
Not much going on other than that. If you’ve been out and have a report for us… LET US KNOW, good or bad!
Sometimes air pressure after a cold front can cause freshwater fish not to bite. especially in the spring. Also, I see forest city pond always getting left out. I was there a few days ago and caught 2 nice largemouth in an hour and a half.
James, thanks for the info. Unfortunately, we can only cover so much and are as good as our visitors reports. We would like more people like you to come out of the shadows and contact us with any info or reports so we can help better the experience here.
If you hit Forrest City again, please email us, stop by the shop or call us and let us know what day you fished, what part of the pond, time of day, what bait/lures you used, and of course what you caught. I’m sure people will find your comment and future comments helpful.
