Mind you, these are not state record gills but nice dinner plate size ones that love to take a dry fly on a summer evening.
Thanks, might get the 'yak out and check that part...you're saying the eastern edge of the reservoir?Fishybig wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2023 7:35 pmTheir still there....go all the in back ...opposite side from the launch and use shiners....ywBiggerThomas wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2023 5:10 pmI used to catch huge blue gill in Round Valley.

I have caught the larger blue gill in pond right across from the high school in the picnic area. Also some 12-14 inch largemouth. But it is often too covered with algae and lily pads to fish. I have caught some 12 inch largemouths in the other pond just off Buffalo hollow road. Both are very small ponds so nothing huge but a little action in a scenic setting.BiggerThomas wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2023 9:44 pmhoppock grove?martalus wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2023 6:07 pmI used to catch big ones at that tiny park in Voorhees state park.
