What is the name of the lake that was fished in Great Barrington Ma for Smallmouth bass
I fish the Berkshires often and was curious where this pond is and how to access it? Any information will help!
The same….what is the of the lake….????? Thanks
Pretty sure it’s private
I live in the Berkshires as well. I’m just curious as well, then why don’t they say that the land is private? I mean fishing private water is ok, but its very much different then water that is not publically accessed. I mean lets be honest, making a tv show showing fishing and its beauty of new England like “on the water TV” and then saying, “well its private” sorry no access. The series is great, but if the pond is private then the show is bogus!
There saying is no where the fish are..lol bogus…
No where the fish are ..hmmmmmm. always such a big secret.
Could be the Berkshire Fishing Club on Palmer Brook Reservoir in Becket. Mostly largemouth in there but who knows. Anyway, its private for members only. No outside boats allowed either.
Most likely Round Pond in Great Barrington. I enjoy the show but it does nothing for the average fisherman.
On The Water, where? Why not let the loyal subscribers know where you’re catching such nice Smallies. We’re waiting.
