Big NYC Reservoir Winter Bridge Fishing for Decent Bass & Fat Pickerel. Bear with us in the beginning of this fine fishing video. This is fishing. Minus the trout stream I think we were the only 2 out on the entire reservoir chain. We fished around some reservoir bridges for most the day after a scenic stop. The hope always, hit big the first stop. Don’t work like that too often in winter. 3 stops and 1 big beautiful yellow perch to start the day. Both not content, yet. Save the best for last. It is snowing out. 1/8oz jigs with minnow and grub plopping in the water. Sun is beginning to hit below the gray skied New York City Reservoir treetops and finally, bass on. Sun dropping, we dart to the other side after a couple of quick jokes. Sun glasses off. All serious and the fishing began. It was a volley of noteworthy fat winter pickerel and decent bass. Excitement was both bottled and bubbling, as the sun dropped below the NYC Reservoir tree stumps, and the night began.

Winter fishing goes most often as such. This is a good thing to know. A better thing to know is you will be rewarded if you put in your time and effort. I can not say all of the time, but most of the time you will be rewarded. Winter fishing goes most often as such.
