Almost any place for which one is not prepared well for. In the past I targeted trout on Monksville and always managed to get some smaller fish early in the season. Almost always got skunked there in mid season even after marking a ton of fish on a graph. I think we can all be successful if we would be prepared to switch on a fly to whatever species which are active! How many of us would switch from musky fishing to sunnies? Not many, thus Skunksville prevailed over many of us

Any Stocked river/stream on opening day. Have yet to catch a single stocked trout on opening day itself. After getting skunked the past few years I just switched to fishing for wilds.

Lol GetaNet you guys have helped me which prevented the streak from getting to 11 and led to a couple straights trips with a catch. Looking forward to improving this year and actually learning some good technique as well as learning how to read lakes. I am sure you will be hearing from me a lot in a couple months, let's just hope its not because I am begging for help again as I build another streak lol

I'd nominate Monksville but nobody I know catches anything there.

Pompton Lake is a possibility, but I only fished it twice and caught one small bass.

My nemesis is Round Valley. I've put many hours of fishing in there over the past few years and have one trout, a few bass LT 12 inches and a few dozen rock bass to show for it.

Milton lake last year was my nemesis I had a few really bad skunks fishing frogs and spinnerbaits in the summer when conditions should have been perfect.

I went there with my wife once late in the fall with bobbers and worms and got SKUNKED couldn't have planned it any better LOL
