Going to visit the in-laws, and they live on Lake Montclair. Anyone have any info on it? Does it have bass? Is there any boat ramps? Anything would really help. Thanks in advance.

It's private so you probably aren't going to get too much info on it. I have fished it but didn't have any luck. There are bass in it. I couldn't tell you about a ramp. Most of the shoreline is private, and I don't recall a boat ramp at the park that borders the lake. I would assume that it is electric motor only.

Why don't you call the in-laws and ask about a ramp and motor rules?

They don't know, but thanks for the info.

No problem, wish I could be more help.

There is a ramp, but you must register your boat with the Montclair Association there to be able to have it on the water and no boats over 18" allowed. I didnt see anything about a horsepower rating though but needless to say you wont be able to use your boat there

But you might be able to catch them from the park and dam side, Dan and myself werent able to but conditions were less than perfect that day. Water is really clear and the dam drops off pretty fast to over 6 feet. In the warmer months Id imagine its a pretty good fishery.

Fish species include

Largemouth bass

Crappie

Yellow perch

Pickerel

Bluegills

Channel Cats

Brown Bullheads

Hope that helps

Thanks Thai

Any other good places in the area to fish this time of year?
