Recon Chestnuthill Reservoir

I went out to the Chestnuthill reservoir to test the waters and see what sort of fishing action I could get there. There is some parking on the northern side of the lake. The pedestrians do not bother you like they do at the Brookline Res. There are not obstructing trees to foul your line when casting and there is a level track around the whole perimeter of the lake. It is handicap accessible for fisher folk in wheelchairs. Wind is some what of a challenge here for casting. Shore fishing only.

There might be bass in the chestnut hill res but it is such a big lake...who knows. The only structure that I observed were clumps of elodea in the shallow sections of the lake. Although with the abundance of yellow perch and bluegills its hard to imagine that if did have any LMGs in there that they wouldn't be fat and happy fishies. In any case I am not really fishing this location for bass per se but for easy to catch fish for my daughter who has been struggling to land a fish for the last 3 weeks. I need a place where I can restore her confidence in her ability to catch fish. I am hoping that this is the place to do that.
