I was able to fish this location on Oct 4 from 8 until around 4 with an hour for lunch.  Since this is a new property, I did not know what to expect. I did read the report from  Bryan Buchan about rattle traps and the dam.

First, this place is HUGE!!  The turn onto the property from Dacy lane is not well-marked, but the entry is right before you will go over a bridge on Dacy lane. Now for the report.

Water temp: 73-76

Air temp: 70-88

Clarity: 2ft

Weather: cloudy in the morning and sunny in the afternoon.

Top water was active and I had a short-hit on a Zara Spoon and caught 1 and missed 1 on a buzz bait. 

As Bryan stated in his report, rattle traps near the dam were effective.  When I returned from lunch, I tied on a red rattle trap and made several trips only the dam.  I caught about 4 with the largest being just under 5 # - Bryan thanks for the report.  I ended the day with a total of 9.
