Expedition Nockamixon 4/21/17
Having already fished most of the north side of Lake Nockamixon, we decided to try our luck on the south side.
The weather was a bit chilly off the lake, so our boys were bundled up, but in good spirits. The first spot we found was through a random access road. It was an extremely easy stroll down towards the water.
Lou and the boys started fishing around an old pier using lures, while I stuck to my bottom fishing with night crawlers.
We had spent close to an hour there when fortune finally struck and I landed a 21 inch channel catfish. Our “guide in training” was able to help wrestle the line out of the weeds as I went to land it.
The next spot was near the Spillway. While we did not catch anything, we found it to be a fantastic spot for families. There is a long stretch of a grass area that is perfect for a picnic and plenty of room for little ones that run around. The stretch is completely wide open with absolutely no tree overhangs, which is perfect for beginner fishers.
While we did not have any luck, we did manage to get a few bites along the beach.
Our last stop was another spot off of an access road. The access had limited casting room, but after hiking down the shore a bit, we found a few open casting opportunities.
Lake Nockamixon has some amazing fishing opportunities, but more importantly a lot of opportunity for exploration and some amazing scenery.
