I never knew about all of this hammering in the winter. I guess I'll remember for next ice season.

Shore fishing IS fairly limited especially for the size of the rez.
Hopfully the bucket loads of fish that have been daily removed doesnt have much of a negative effect on the fishing in years to come.
Unless people were always going out from the NF side when we used to go there was rarely anyone there ever on the danbury side.
This was 6 7 maybe 8 years ago so I guess things could have changed.

2019 (last time we fished there) we had decent luck the handful of times we went. Catching quality size LMB.

Yes I was the teen that you remember from the bait shop picture gallary.
