Brookline Reservoir Description

This little 18-acre pond has a maximum depth of 43 feet and an average depth of 12 feet. Public access is excellent as the pond is located within a city park and there is a paved road around the entire shoreline. Boats are unnecessary due to the pond’s small size; casters can reach virtually all portions of the pond from shore. The Brookline Police Patrolman’s Association is responsible for the fishing at this reservoir; hence there is almost always a law enforcement presence and all fishing regulations — particularly the trout limit — are strictly enforced. Fish: largemouth bass, chain pickerel, brown bullhead, yellow perch, white perch, pumpkinseed, American eel, common carp, and golden shiner. Stocked trout are also present during part of the year.

Aquatic vegetation is scant and the water has fair transparency.

This is a local fishing spot, and due to its small size and relative infertility, it can produce only limited numbers of game and panfish. They are generally of small average size. The pond is very well suited to “put and take” trout management, however, and is stocked every spring, usually with rainbow trout. Fishing pressure is high during the stocking season, and most of the trout are caught by June. If this pond is on your list, plan to hit it in April or May for best results for Trout.
