For Smallies it is...Is it worth going to the res this time of year if so what should I bring for gear
Gate 8 or 10...I prefer 10. Been having a lot of luck with wacky rigged Senkos in Brown/Chartreuse tip. Also have good luck with Jigs and a rubber craw trailer.
I wanna try 10 with a fly rod...
Mostly smallmouth..some largemouth at gate 8. Trout are real deep right now. If you go to the point at Gate 8 with a surf rod and a shiner going deep you may get lucky. At night using an inflated night crawler you may get a trout or 2 closer to shore.Awesome so large and smallmouth ? How about trout
You have to follow the wind when fishing the Res, you don't want to be in the wind tunnel. Great thing about her is that you can find quality spots all over, Some walks are alot shorter than others, gate 8 is 18-20 mins the Rook is 35-42 mins both deep water. Use 1 for casting and 1 for live/dead bait, especially early for Lakers. When the sun is up, switch back to something live and the Smallies and Browns should be around. I may be interested in hitting her again soon...
That was the first spot I fished alone with no help or asking where to go, I just looked at the map a said thats the spot, never skunked in the 3 times I went. Crapped my pants 1 time, hooked into something not very happy to meet me, snapped me off, almost pulled me in. Fished to the right near the running water, rock ledge. Be carefull If your gong to 10 then go up the road to 14 Scar hill 10 min walk right or left right if casting I believe we getting a group trip out at the Rook next couple weeks, you more than welcome as is anyone else. We may do a 2 on 2 doubles action so get it READY!!!!!!
Parking is a big dirt lot on RT 110 gate 35 The Rook. The closest spot to the narrows, shallow to deep, 10 -15 ft to so say 110 ft (some say 140ft) Long walk but.....no LEAD guys as a heads up, they will check
you can use 1oz and up in lead no? That way if your using a surf casting setup you can fire out a 1oz or 2oz spoon pretty far. Might scare the salmon
