Gonna try Farrington

[bubbasdad]

Made a quick trip with the kid today, really low, see the pic....nothing to show so far but a couple sunnies





Tried worms, power bait, and locally caught bait, but no love today....did have one big blow up on my live bait when I was dragging it in, but I missed it

Wow! That's low. But fish still gotta be in there. I guess ill go take a look just to check it out. But will prob try a different spot.

I'm not surprised that they are stopping trout stocking in Farrington.

For years, they have been stocking both trout and Northern Pike in these waters.

It just didn't make sense to me since the Northerns get quite large in in lake as evidenced by some that I have seen come thru the ice in the winter.
The stocked trout are probably just like candy to the Northerns!

I don't know if the Notherns breed in this lake, but it makes sense to stop stocking one or the other.

Like putting lake trout in Monksville right ?

So I decide to go with farrington today. Step dad skunk. Me 3 perch on shiners. 2 very nice ones. My step dad loves them so he is cooking them up. Water was low and the ramp I used was very muddy. We tried for trout and bass, but we saw a tree down in the water, as we approached it we saw bait fish jumping all over and even large breaks. Thought we had found a pike, turned out it was some perch.

Glad you got a couple fish! Like everywhere else you gotta put your time in and learn the lake and now is a good time to do that there. Hope you made some notes and took some pics so you can fish those spots in the future!

I got my 16' tracker in there. Just gotta get the jeep a little wet that's all.

Where Can The Pike Be Hiding!

Stopped by today just to see it. Way low. Cool looking. Im gonna give it a shot on wednesday. An takes on if the fishing will be better or worse? good fish have less area to hide etc. Bad the are spooked because of envirment change etc?

I'm interested to see how anyone does. Farrington is 10 minutes from me but I've yet to put in much time there. I stopped by there for a swim last Tuesday and yea the water was insanely low. Lawrence brook seemed to have some water in it though when I passed over it. I gotta try for trout in there one of these days
