Any suggestions for fishing here?
Message:
Thought I'd post this here to see if you gurus have some suggestions! I have an Ore Bed/Quarry near my parents house that I have fished over the years with 0 success. Completely 0. Everyone I've ever talked to says the same thing "Yeah, I've fished there, there's some really big fish in there." At which point I will ask "Yes, but did you catch anything?" and the response is "no". Here's the deal, this is a very very deep open pit mine that filled with water, it is fed by a stream at one end, with an outlet at the other. Considerable flow comes up from springs at the bottom at well. The water is always cold. ALWAYS. Boats are not allowed on it and the shoreline is rather inhospitable, being a pit, there's steep edges right down to the water. The underwater, there is maybe 6 feet out from the shore in all directions where the water is maybe 3' deep, and then it drops off to unknown (but very deep) depths. The water also has very high mineral content, and as such always has that green tinge. There is very little vegitation, at least that I can see. The lake is stocked with lake trout, and there are either pike or pickeral in the lake that are quite large from, I assume, munching on lake trout. There are some bass in the pond as well, and they usually are clinging to the side of an old beaver dam, seeking what little structure they can find. One side of the water has a very steep rocky cliff that goes straight into the water. I can access it to fish from, but it's tricky. I'd love to be able to pull some lake trout, and or pike out of this thing, but I'm at a loss, I've thrown everything I can think at them. So, Do you guys have any suggestions!? Sorry for length. Didn't mean to Lake X This post. There's no name for this pond that I'm aware of, but its just over the NYS border with Connecticut up in Lakeville. If anybody wants directions PM me. Don't even think about bringing a boat, but I'd reccomend a NYS license as its in a state park and the F&G officers are around. If you come to this place and catch fish, you will be my hero!
