[go_fish]

I would like to go fishing at Merrill Creek this weekend. I am not familiar with the reservoir. Where is the closest bait store where I could buy alewives/herring? Are herring still available now?

How big is the launch ramp, I think there is only one. How deep does the launch ramp get, I have a float off boat trailer. How crowded is the launch ramp with people launching and retrieving their boats?
