Re: Oradell Reservoir
There are still hybrids there and there are some real big ones. There is an abundance of herring which is why the fish were put in there in the first place. I went out one day and I was on the wrong side of the island but I saw them busting up bait. I didn't have enough time to walk back around before dark, killed me to watch. I've been meaning to go back but I have been beating on lmb in some other waters the last few weeks and haven't got around to it. A few years back I used to hammer them up there and in the waters below. Try fishing bigger topwaters in the last two hours or so of light...I would use a little longer rod to get some casting distance, the bait comes up on the points and they are on them. They respond best to the topwater in that sundown bite. Never seen a walleye but there are some good bass in there lmb and smb. I grew up fishing this water and I fish the waters around there just about every day. The key is to get off the beaten path a little bit but it is tough with the amount houses around.
