CopperheadVA Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Just started fishing the Ni and wondered if there was anyone out there willing to help with Fall pattern - general areas, etc. Been out a few times lately without much luck - throwing worms, crankbaits. I'm nwe (again) to lake fishing as I spend most time fishing Stripers on the Chesapeake Bay. Need to get a few in the boat before it gets cold! Thanks! Quote

Better hurry up, Ni and Hunting Run are closing after Nov 20. Quote
Mudwalker Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I have fished a couple club tournaments at Ni and it is my least favorite place to fish. From the results of the tournament I would recommend going to the laft arm as you leave the ramp to find the fish this time of the year. That's where most of the fish weighed in came from. Most were caught on soft plastics. Chatter baits were also productive. Quote
Fifteen Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Wayne why do they close those lakes during late fall and winter ? Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted October 26, 2011 Super User Posted October 26, 2011 Wayne why do they close those lakes during late fall and winter ? The county does not what to pay for labor operating the check-in/boat rental with a low volume of traffic. 2 Quote

endless Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 It definitely a tough place. I'm lucky to get three out of there in a day and nothing of size at that. One day just one of these day........... Quote
