You have to be kidding me about being slow at West Hill. I witnessed my nephew who caught a 24" 6 lb. 2 0z on New Years eve. His  Brown which is third in the CT Outfitters' fishing derby was number one for a week  and witnessed Captain Steve catch two 22 inch breeder browns while I have caught three beefy 19" browns out of the same hole of which two were released and one kept for the table. My nephew also caught another 19"  brown which looked more like a pickerel than a trout. Slow? I doubt it because the fish move around as testified to by the fellow fishing by the Boy SCOUT CAMP. What was being caught in abundance were Kokanne salmon by many fishermen in the first three weeks of the year. I cannot comment about the past week and one half because I have not fished the lake recently.                                  West Hill Phil

Does anybody fish there for panfish? I scuba dove it last summer and saw some huge small mouth and tons of rock bass and gills. I know alot of people go there to fish for trout in the winter but can calico's be found there. I'm familiar with around the island and the rock pile its along walk from the boat launch

I don't believe there is another way to go from the parking lot to the island. The old boat rental place on the South end is closed now. The Boy Scouts own the island and the camps there and do not like outsiders there. If you know a lake front property owner you might be able to get on the lake from their property.
I have heard that the trout are huge and many people ice fish for the perch and Kokanee salmon. Some bass and pickerel are also caught there. Good luck off the island; that area was frozen but the center of the lake was open in the deep part of the lake.

its to bad ponds boat livery isn't operating anymore it made it easy for people to have a good time on the water without having to own a boat, chances are i'm heading that way saturday. Ill be jigging by myself so if anyone else is looking for someone to catch a few let me know. got a cool new aqua vu showdown to play with too. It works well tested at the weathersfield cove today.
