Any Panfish in Kensico?
« on: December 26, 2007, 08:30:39 pm »
I've caught Lakers, SM, LM, Pickerel in Kensico. No Brown yet but I did see Tom's photo. :)
My question is has anyone caught any Panfish like Yellow Perch, White Perch or Crappies in Kensico? If so whereabouts?
Walking he Kensico shoreline with it's barren rocks and glacial
lake structure I don't even see sunfish.
Up in Muscoot and Cross River I always seem to run into them even inadvertenly.

I've caught a few nice size yellow perch in Kensico. The best was just west of the bridge toward the dam. I never went for them specifically but they hit small crankbaits and minnow baits.

Best Always,

Thanks guys. I guess that are must be fairly shallow with weed growth.
I'll give it a try.

In the January 11, 2008 edition of New York Outdoor News, there is always a feature lake on the bake cover.  There is a map and a list of species present in the lake.  Kensico was this editon's feature.  It goes on to list the species as being:
Lake Trout, Brown Tout, Rainbow Trout, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass,
Chain Pickerel, Yellow Perch, Crappie, Rainbow Smelt, Bluegill, Sunfish, Bullhead. 
Check out this edition.
I hope this helps to answer your question.
