Hello everyone,

My family and I just moved here a little over a year ago and I have been making it a point to try to get out fishing more often. I recently bought a one-man pontoon boat and was wondering if any of you had any advice on fishing Round Valley? I live in Morristown so its only a little over a half hour drive from me. I went out there last Friday and saw one bank fisherman and that was it. The weather was pretty bad so I only stayed out there for a couple of hours with no luck. I have read that the lake is not what it used to be and doesn't fish as well anymore; is there any truth to this? Am I wasting my time out there??

I am open to giving other spots a try too. I grew up fly fishing the rivers and lakes in Northern California for trout, so most of my fishing would be geared more towards this. I do have spinning gear for the lakers though. Obviously I wouldn't expect you guys to give me all your secrets lol, but any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys, I'm looking forward to it warming up a bit and getting out there more.
