Fished Oxford reservoirs yesterday morning (1-5-13)

on tip-ups - 2 LMB with the biggest at 21". couple of pickerels and a couple yellow perch.
Jigging - a dozen yellow perch, but all small.

| Were you fishing Seymour Reservoirs? If so, which one were you fishing and what was the access like with your gear? |

| yes, Seymour reservoirs - off of rt 42. I always mistakenly call them oxford reservoirs, i guess since they are in oxford. I fished #2 but it's a little bit of a hike in there. #4 has the easiest access and a lot of pan fish. supposedly there was a pike caught in #4 a few years ago. Have caught some nice LMB in #4 during the summer but none yet during the winter |

thanks dawg.
x182dan - 2 winters ago i was visited by a DEP officer on the ice at those reservoirs at least 6 different times. he was the one that told me of the pike, that his supervisor saw fish or saw picture. not saying it's a fact, just passing on what i had heard (from a pretty reputable source). |

A guy once caught a northern pike at Batterson Park Pond, a 38 incher, I think. The story made it into the New Britain Herald. Heck, I caught a 16 inch smallmouth bass at my local one acre trout pond a couple of years ago. And look at Beseck. The yellow perch there look an awful lot like northern pike to me.  The bucket biologists are always hard at work.

Honestly I don't believe it. Someone once told me a story similar to yours about the pike picture and the dep officer told this guy that there were stocking the res with pike. Said all the pike were in #4 all the way in the back blah blah blah. I didn't believe him so i called the dep for the heck of it and they said no way they'd never stock a place like that. The only way a pike got in there would be if someone put it in there which i guess is possible. BTW nice bass I used to fish that place a lot in the summer but if you ask me its has gone downhill a lot since a couple years ago.

If somebody else and I were to bring 1 sled with gear in it and need to carry a bait bucket to the ice before putting it in the sled, any troubles as for hills or distance with #4? |

Michael,
#4 is really easy to get onto with a sled. It's a short walk from the parking spot to the dirt dam. |
