Just started fishing. Got a 6'6 spinning reel rod with 6 lb mono. I went to Valleys Fall Park (a small pound) and tried my gear. I tied the line to a #6 hook, I used a float with split shots and salmon egg as bait. It didn't work at all......I also tried a 1/16 oz spinner with a treble hook, got nothing either.
I have limited knowledge and experience, could someone give some suggestions?: 
BTW: I know little about fishing but I know it is wrong to leave something that does not belong there. I found broken fishing lines all around (one as long as perhaps 30 yards), and also some other parts. I spent about half an hour to clean everything around me I hope people could do better at the park......  |

valley falls can be tricky. a lot of people fish there...usually they bottom fish for trout. Once school is out or after 4th of july the beach part is open and people swim in there...then forget it. I catch an occasional bass or pickerel in there. It does get stocked throughout the year and it quiets down after labor day weekend. Try the back end of the pond next time..could be less people in those areas. The trails are nice, my wife and I walk there 2 or 3 times a week.
just up the road is walkers reservoir, another TM pond...small accesible....trout, bass and pumpkinseeds...been seeing suckers in there lately... it's right off exit 67, take a right and an immediate right. Again, go during the weekdays during the day and it's the most quiet. |
