Gilmaster,
If you tie a foam Goldie would you mind posting a picture on this site. It sounds interesting.

Rohunta is shallow. I think it's 15' at its deepest in the north basin, but below Route 2 I doubt it gets much deeper than 10' in the channel, and off the channel it varies from 2' - 6'. Very topwater friendly.

Well I am excited... I have wanted to fish Rohunta for years...I am honing my top water skills with floating goldies, frogs and floating minnows...so far the Gartsides floating minnow has out produced in the ponds I am fishing...The hair bugs aren't producing... How deep in Rohunta?

I will have a extra canoe for you, Caddis, not a problem... I am going to make some floating Goldie flies...instead of beadhead I am going to use some foam and try that for a new design fly...use it the same a a rapala or husky jerk.....as for Stripers in Sept we can plan it the following week if some folks want to... I am sure we can fish a couple of Cape cod places and do some good

Rohunta has some fairly weed-free water. The north basin (north of Rt 2) is pretty wide open. The area just south of Rt 2 has plenty of open water, especially along the channel. The lower half of the lake, however, is socked right in except the main channel. That bass I got was in the pads, and if you are willing to work, one of the fun things is sneaking into the pads and dropping surface bugs in the pockets. Bass and pickerel are bound to hammer the fly.

As for a place to...

I don't plan to camp...as long as we can find a spot to gather together, I'm back in at Rohunta.
Gillbuster, I may like to take you up on the canoe offer.
Thank you,
Lou

Spinney,
I agree..you have made the trip south several times, we need to fish up your way some where...if there is a place on Rohunta for a place for a nice shore lunch or we can cook out of the back of the truck ...then I am for it...camping is unique and an added plus....Next June we will do Myles Standish again.....I am looking to catch a beast of a bass (like your hog) this year and Rohunta has exceptional reports...Weather will have a big part in the fishing success. With gas at...

I've heard good things about Walker Pond, but not sure how busy it gets (though Sept. may not be an issue). There's a lot of good looking water in that part of the state.

If folks are keen on camping, then Rohunta is definitely out, but there's plenty of space for access and gathering for the feed if that's the only concern. But I'm most concerned that we choose a place that offers good fishing and that folks can get excited about traveling to. Once you get...

Well gang, since there is no response so far I will throw another September location out for viewing

Many folks want to try central MA, ....here is another camping and fishing idea... Walker Pond & Wells State Park in Sturbridge, MA. There are camping sites available in September
