• Where to Fish on Cemetery Brook

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Gravel runs and silted pools fish quite differently, so treat them apart. Slack water behind an obstruction is worth more than open current. Public occurrence data for Capitol Planning Region names bluegill, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Cemetery Brook gives up more to patience than to distance.
