Great Notch Reservoir.....
 

Has anyone ever tried fishing Great Notch Res between Little Falls and Woodland Park.? Ive been so tempted to sneak in there and throw a line...

If anyone has fished in there what species are in there?


Also has anyone fished New street Res across from Barbours Pond in woodland park?

Was wondering the same thing myself today. The signs clearly say, no trespassing. But, its only illegal if u get caught, right. :rolleyes:

Re: Great Notch Reservoir.....
 

hah, yeah just take it from bruce: "In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught"

Re: Great Notch Reservoir.....
 

Both of those were my stomping grounds 25yrs ago. We never got caught but that was along time ago. I wouldn't even think about it now the way the protect the reservoirs. Don't get caught !!

One other thing, do you really think that someone would say YEA It's Great !!

Re: Great Notch Reservoir.....
 

I would :eek: but thats just me I guess:rolleyes:



I drive by those Res's quite often and if you did some early morning fishing (say 5am - 7am) there is no way you would be caught. I never see anyone ever patrolling these areas..... Great Notch would be easy to fish but New Street is too much in the open...

Same thing with Cedar Grove res... fish in these res's gotta be huge by now.:eek:

Since 911, you need to be careful going to a reservoir.

Exactly, is it really worth it?

As long as I get to take the lunker I catch to jail with me:cool:

Re: Great Notch Reservoir.....

Re: Great Notch Reservoir.....
 

and its tough to fish from shore....you need waders

Re: Great Notch Reservoir.....
 

Actually, for the last month the CG res has been completely empty. Somethin about pipe work. Not sure what they did with the fish but there were some nice ones in there. Giant smallies and pike sized pickerel. I used to fish there a while back before it was an "arrested on site" establishment.

Re: Great Notch Reservoir.....
 

I heard the CG resi was great too. I am just too nervous to get caught there. I read that they take the fish out with some type of truck that is filled with water. Who knows if they put them back...

Re: Great Notch Reservoir.....
 

When did you catch pike in there?

Re: Great Notch Reservoir.....
 

Why do they restrict fishing there ?

Re: Great Notch Reservoir.....
 

Yeah, ten pound smallies? Got to be pulling your legs.
