First trip to Hopeville this weekend
Message:
I can't even catch a cold at Mansfield so I'm going to try Hopeville this Saturday morning instead.
Just curious what the weeds/pads are like there, so I bring the right stuff. Is the milfoil thick and laying over on itself? Esox Cobra jig heads with a mag lizard or reaper get through that thick stuff amazingly well for a jig head with an exposed hook. Do you paddle North or South from the boat launch? Thanks.

One additional question. How would I get to the "falls" that I've read about? Just put the yak in the water at the Hopeville boat launch and paddle toward Pachaug Pond? Does the damn/falls separate Hopeville from Pachaug? Thanks again.

Go early and you should be able to dodge the $9 (plus tax now!) parking fee. The "Falls" are a solid 30-45 minute paddle South.
The kayak tournament was there last month and I found the best Bass fishing was South of the overpass...which is about 1/2 mile South from the launch. If you're after Pike, paddle all the way down to the falls. I've found they tend to linger in that general area ±200 yards. I can't speak to punching through mats & Milfoil there, I rarely fish jigs.
Good luck.
