Wade (fishfinder) had to go back to his place in Middlebury after picking me up, so instead of going to Seymour Reservoirs, we went to Long Meadow Pond.
Wade played around with a few different lures while I stuck with a 7cm firetiger Original Floater.
Wade got a few hits with a Texas rigged lizard while I was playing topwater with the Original Floater.
Pumpkinseeds and bluegills seemed to be stacked inside the lilies and weeds, cause I caught 3 pumpkinseeds and 2 bluegills all in the same area while lightly twitching the lure on the surface. Also caught a thin 12" pickerel.
Wade lost a brown that he said looked to be about 17" 2 pounds. It took a Texas rigged soft plastic worm. Wade said he's never caught a trout there and never knew there were any in there.
I was fishing a shallow weedy cove that had a tree limb hanging in the water. That's where I caught a dinky pickerel no bigger than 5" and a 9" crappie. I decided to stick around that area.
Wade caught a dinky largemouth with a 5cm perch Original Floater and then joined me while I was into them.
Wade and I stuck with carefully twitching Original Floaters on the surface, which had crappie, smaller bass, and sunnies going crazy.
Wade and I both had plenty of love taps, swirls, and jumps while he caught 4 bluegills up to 8" 10 ounces and I caught another 4 crappie up to 10" and 2 largemouths.
Brought 3 keeper crappie home finding 2 of them to be pregnant females. |

Has anyone ever caught a trout here? I havent fished it much but swear it was a trout on the deeper side of the bridge very close to it. Not much big fish love there yesterday. The big ones must have been pressured ad I threw everything out there. Thevwater is crystal clear though.

| When were you guys fishing there? I was out there in my boat sunday from noon until around 4:30. I have been catching most of my fish off shore in deeper water. My only bass of the day was 3lb 11oz, which is also my biggest of the year so I was happy yesterday! |
