I've fished there for years and years. Not so much lately. There are some lunkers there,but really helps if you have a boat. The shore gets pressured alot. The summer the pads are thick enough to walk on. There's also big bullheads in there. But give it a shot,you never know. Try fishing closer to the dam which is to the left,you'll see a path. Also,it is in Wallingford right on 68. Look for the small boat launch signs

ive fished it a ton cuz my girlfriend kept her horse right next to it. that was my favorite spot last year, and i mostly fished from shore to the left of the launch. ive pulled some monsters out of there. 6lbs was the biggest. it does get a lot of pressure. i started wading out just past the lillies because it doesnt get very deep, and ill kill them on just a texas rigged or wacky rigged worm. i reccomend use braided line, the lillies will kill ya if ur not used to them, i snapped my favorite rod there last year on a fish caught in the lilies, but i was able to pull that bastard in by hand cuz of my braid. North Farms is a great place for Bass, you just gotta know how to fish heavy veg.

can't add much info...nothing not said already anyways.
fished there once last year on a canue. the whole place was pretty shallow. LOTS of lillies, at least when my buddy and I went out. I hooked into a cookie cutter 1 lber. my friend however caught 2 nice LMB around 3 lbs on a pink texas rigged zoom brand softplastic. the first was caught off the front of the island. the other was close to the docks that are located on the side of the res past the dam. no luck around the dam when I went.
i think it's worth another trip or two...it was pretty pressured, a few other canues and people fishing from shore as well.
