Fished Tuckahoe for trout Saturday for the first time. Got there at 7:30 thinking I would beat the crowd. Wrong. Left at 11:30 with two fish. Back at 6:30 am This morning with smaller hooks and got a better spot. 5 fish limit in by 6:51 am. Not sure how to add pics.

Sounds like a productive morning. What bait were you using?

 

[andypat]

Any yellow perch or bass caught?

 

[AaronDen]

Was using the Berkley trout bait in hot pink. Size 12 hook with half a piece of the trout bait. Must completely bury the hook. Saw nothing except trout being caught. Tried Hillsboro for yellow perch on Saturday for 30 minutes with minnows on top bottom rigs with no luck.

Think I will try Why Mills, and maybe Watts Creek on the way back for yellow perch this morning.

 

[AaronDen]

Let me know how you make out. I like in Wye Mills. Been driving passed the spillway a lot and not seeing much activity. We were hiking at Martinak about a month ago and people were at the Pavilion over Watts Creek getting a slow pick at the perch. First weekend in March there is a quarry pond in Greenwood DE that gets stocked with trout that we are going to try out.

I tried Wye Mills spillway this morning for a little while. Didn't take long to know the yellow perch were not there. So I left for another spot. Thanks for the Info.

I don't think you are going to see yellow perch at Wye Mills like it used to be. DNR says beavers have blocked down stream pretty good making it tough for the perch to make it all the way to the spillway

Maybe we could catch them at Wye Landing then. I went after yellows this morning but all I caught was about ten or fifteen crappie, some nice size blue gill, and one yellow.

I tried at Double hills this past weekend. The perch were not in there yet.

I picked up a pickerel in Hillsboro after Tiefest & a trout @ Tuckahoe SP. Both released.

 

[surfnsam]

We got some nice yellows in Denton Saturday before tie fest but slow. Nice big females.

Damn rain, just when the fish started hitting good for me yesterday. I wanted to get right back on them. I might go and sit in the truck and hope for a break in the rain.

 

[AaronDen]

Figured out how to post pics

 

[andypat]

Not many people fishing there. That's good. Think there is any trout left? Should be some yellows or a few white perch showing up. You think? I have been getting a mix of crappie , white and yellow perch. The last few mornings.

 

[AaronDen]

It was much more crowded than the pic shows. Atleast 2 dozen people. I have to believe they are still there to catch. Its new to me so I'm not sure how long it takes before they start eating natural food as opposed to "match the hatch" Berkley trout pellets. I think another 500 will go in later this month but not sure.

I stopped by that area.....(Sunday)........so crowded. I still have not understood the hype for trout. Of 5 trout outings in my life, I only succeeded once on stocked trout. 2 were skunkage trips and the other 2 were just 2 of the dozen's of trout in a mountain stream who attacked my spinner.

I finished the day with 9 eating-size (12-20 inches) catfish out of the Choptank. I assume the white and yellows are further up the river or there are more fish downstream that have not moved up yet.

Anyone try Red Bridges yet?
