Was bank fishing on the lake today as I flew to Mass and therefore didn't bring my boat. Boat rental and swim area is still closed but you can bypass the locked gate with a kayak hopefully with a trolley as it's a good ways down to the water. (A guy told me they moved the gate farther away from the lake.) I walked in paying no fee and had no trouble finding bluegill beds in three places with the largest fish at one group of beds. Most were 7 to 9 inches but one was 10 inches. I caught a few at each stop with a fly rod and a simple black fly. They had little interest in a twister tail panfish jig. All fish were released.
No one else fishing with one guy cruising around on his kayak, a couple and kids swimming in the swimming area, and two girls, a guy and three dogs swimming on the south side of the lake.
Did some casting with a kastmaster spoon deep off some steep breaks flashing it just off the bottom with no hits. If I had my boat with a down rigger trolling a chrome dodger and sewn on minnow and rubber band release would probably have caught trout all day. Saw a cormorant which can really pack some fish away on the lake. It has to eat too but they are murder on trout in clear water.
Was planning on using an artificial frog on Little Hell Pond but dropped it as I was tying it on and couldn't find it to save my life.
