About this spot

Fishing info

  • Experience

    The spot is notable for its abundant largemouth and smallmouth bass, allowing for diverse fishing experiences. Despite being peaceful and near Worcester, the limited infrastructure suggests the need for kayaks for better access, indicating potential accessibility challenges from the shore.

  • Tips

    Utilizing kayaks provides access to productive, vegetative areas, improving catch rates. Avoidance of bluegill requires specific techniques, and fishing in lily pad-covered coves is effective for bass targeting.

  • Fishing seasons

    Consistent temperatures between 75°F to 82°F from May to September, paired with light winds under 14 mph, offer advantageous fishing conditions in spring through early fall. However, the heavier precipitation in September and October may alter water levels and fish behavior. During winter, typical temperatures range from 27°F to 37°F, causing potential ice formation.
