Hi everybody - I'm back from a very long illness.
Can you tell me when Wachusett Reservoir opens?
I'd like to take my grandson there.

popo takes some GREAT pictures !!!!!!

If anyone is interested in the solunar tables I found this website while looking on Yahoo Weather:

I put yellow 15lb. braided line on my new baitcaster. Should I be using a mono leader? I fish with 1/2 oz. spinner baits in clear water the most.

I agree with willluvstafish and using your thumb for braking. You'd be suprised, it doesn't take very long to get used to it.

What do you do with the fish after you catch it?

I want to fish with streamers and a casting bubble with my ultra light. What is a good size hook to make my streamers with? How does the sizing go for hooks? The smaller the number the larger the hook ...

Wachusett Reservoir - Gates Cove - April 11th 2009

Do you have a cat? Last month my cat kept knawing on my line putting knicks in the line. Now I keep my fishing poles out of reach!

Does anyone use a casting bubble and ultra light spinning gear? I remember my grandfather using one in the 60s. He got all kinds of trout. I found some bubbles on eBay and I'm going to give it a try. ...

For a "best picture" prize I could matte the winning picture and send it to the winner.

Another good idea from Mikeyc !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi - mikeyc - I was looking at he map from the website you listed. Would Gate 31 be the best place for fishing from the bank? Largemouth & Smallmouth.

Thanks for the map. It'll help a lot. Go Fish

A Lunker Page would be great.
I think:
1. two pics would be good. I took a test photo and to be able to read the scale only about half the fish would show.
2. New page would make it more unique.
