Sudbury Resevoir Fishing Report

Hiding In The Pads

Fished from about 5:30am to 9:30am. Temps in mid 60's up into the 70's and very humid. Forcast said overcast with possible showers, but by 6:30am the sun was up and burning off all the haze. An absolutely beautiful sunny Saturday morning, although... it was partly cloudy for the most part.

All in all it was a pretty slow morning of fishing. I caught 3 fish in the first 2 & 1/2 hours. All pretty small in the 1lb to 1 1/2 range. All biting on assorted senkos, despite my attempts to try assorted creature baits, poppers and such.

Switched locations to an area with some Lily pads around 8am and hit my first big fish of the day. A solid 2lb'er that I had to seriously work to fight out of the pads. I couldn't believe I actually had to turn my drag up ALL the way to pull him in. I swear I had a lunker, but nope, just a good 2lbs.

After that I moved down the shore to another location with some more lily pads and bam!!! First cast.... same thing. 2lb 5oz hiding in the pads.

It seems I found their secret hiding place. ;-)

I kept fishing in the same location for a little while longer, and had another fish on but he was deep in the lily pads and snapped my line as I tried to pull him out. (Note to self, need to find stronger hook knot for florocarbon)

So that's about it. Just a nice Saturday morning on the Sud. 5 fish overall. There were tons of little fish swimming around, but the big ones have either gone someplace else, or are hiding in the pads. :-)

Time to go shopping for some frogs. :-)
