I didn't catch anything that morning at North Farms Reservoir, that's the one on 68. You can only fish the south bank from the shore, unless you go onto private property.
Later that day I went to Black Pond in Middlefield/Meriden. It's not far from my house. I didn't catch any fish, but I did lose a $7 x-rap lure on the rocks on the bottom of the pond, I tied it to a tree to come back the next day in shorts to get it, but someone took it before I got there.
I went back to Black Pond today I was told to use a Rebel wee crawfish for trout, I figured at least I could get a good meal out of it, but the wind blew one of my casts over a tree and when I reeled it in it got stuck in the tree. I climbed the tree but I couldn't reach it or shake the branch enough to get it off.
So when the water temperature rises the fish will be in the shallow areas? Will they be "hungry" or will they strike out of agression? I'm asking because I want to know whether I need to try to feed them, or piss them off.
