respectmyauthority86 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I have to go to a family reunion this summer but the good new is its right by a lake. They said they stock it with pond many times a year. Has anyone fished this lake. If so please let me know need to know if this is going to be worth the pain I will suffer meeting the family. I was thinking about getting some Huddleston Deluxe Swimbaits if there are any bass in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northrivergeek Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Lots of Bass in there ... good population of smallmouth. Depends on when your going what to use. When water is below 55 hard to beat a suspending rattlin rouge, that and hair jigs with small pork trailer. I have fished Fontana a good bit .. Ive always done well there. My best day there was 18 smallmouth, with fish between 2 - 6lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
respectmyauthority86 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 So there are no largemouth bass in the lake or just hard to find. I was going to fish using some big rainbow trout swimbaits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northrivergeek Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 There are largemouth, but smallmouth is king there.. you could try rainbow swim baits, could'nt hurt. but trout is far from the primary forage in the lake, shad and crawdads primary forage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuMMeRBaits Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I have fished there for Largemouth, Smallmouth, Pike and Muskie. I lived right down the road from it for a few years while I was in college. My grandfather and uncles have been fishing it for years and years.
