• Where to Fish on Double Brook Reservoir

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Plymouth County records list tessellated darter, striped bass and bluegill among the fish reported. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Take Double Brook Reservoir a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 72°F on average, January about 28°F. Whether it freezes depends on the year. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Double Brook Reservoir fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. This sits inside Rocky Gutter Wildlife Management Area, so read the reserve notices first. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. The nearest alternative is Atwood Lower Reservoir, 1.2 miles out. Check the current arrangement for Double Brook Reservoir.
