Shore Fishing at Kensico

[GTAngler]

Hey folks, I haven't done much fishing for anything besides panfish and I don't like boats (I can't swim). I would really like to get into trout and bass fishing this season. I could use tip and sugestions as to how, when and where. Particularily shore fishing. I realize that this is a huge topic area but any advice would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
GTAngler

[GTAngler]

Thanks for the info. Hope to make it out to Kensico soon.

best of luck.its legal to wear waders in the res's which makes fishing easier if you ask me .you can walk out past any potential overhangs etc.just be careful and wear a wading belt and a flotation belt

Here's a shot of one of my buddies fishing with waders at Loudon's Cove. That's at Kensico's Rye Lake section, off of Route 120.



Best to All,

I have yet to make to the Loudens Cove side. What's so special about the area?

There is some type of water runoff pool, which seems like a great pool for trout to hang in. Very accessable too.

I think Tom or Joel has mentioned catching browns there before. I'd like to row out there this season to check it for myself.

i have my boat there its a great location it has an influx of water and  great structure .browns cruise the shallows dawn and dusk and will fall to rapalas.also a nice supply of bass  but please release them we have been catching bigger fish every year due to the catch and release

[yonkers26]

Thanks all. I'll try it from shore as it warms up, and then make the cross country trek by boat from area 3.

how about we trade trips i take you you take me ?

[yonkers26]

That sounds good. I'll probably take you up on that joel. Even though I row towards the deeper areas near the bridge and the kensico side for trout, area 3 is great for LM's...plenty of trees in the water.

[joel137]

i got the bass spots and lake trout spots by me

[WaukeshaKid]

are you allowed to wade in kensico??

[yonkers26]

People here have said yes in the past. Watch out for those dropoffs and rocky areas though. I have had the pleasure of slipping in a stream before....K's is a tad deeper.
