One last question (or so): best way to get at pickerel?
Can they be chased from the shore? Or do you need a kayak or other watercraft? Structure/ambush points? Weed beds?
Thx,
Pete

Thanks, Eric! Any advice on seasons or are they fishable on the fly
year-round?

They are fishable year round on the mill ponds. Thick as bluegill!

They can definitely be caught year 'round. But I target them heaviest from
November through March when the weeds die back. I go for bigger pickerel
and throw a 6- or 7-weight to handle bigger ...more

I use 17lb fluorocarbon. But as Lane said check the leader after each catch.
