I have yet to hit Hopewell this season. The last time I was down there was October of 2016 and didn't even bother to launch when I saw the milfoil beds up to the surface the whole way out to the fishing pier. How are the weeds down there right now; can you launch a small bass boat from the ramp or is that small bay loaded with milfoil again? I don't mind all the weeds in the lake but I do like to have at least a semi-clear path to get my boat through out past the pier.
I love heading to Hopewell at least a few times each season; the bass in there aren't very big but they sure are plentiful. It always makes for a fun time there.

Hey Frogman, I was down at Hopewell and Scott's Run the other day. The weeds are not near as bad as last year, but they are coming back. It helps when you have a small jon instead of a huge tracker... Scotts Run would also be a playground for topwater fishing. Let the board know if yo get anything good from hopewell, they seem to be growing! GL

I take it back. They are horrible. The whole pool shoreline is packed. Lost more than half the lake due to weeds. Only easy spots to fish are in the middle of the lake.

Thanks for the info; I figured it would be pretty bad by now. Honestly; you should be able to do pretty well there fishing the deep weed edge on the "main" lake. But it's such a PIA to try to even get your boat from the ramp out there. I could see paddling it with a kayak etc.; but not trying to get out there with a Bass boat. Thanks again though but it sounds like I might skip that lake altogether this season.

I had planned on wet wading the pool shoreline myself last weekend.... sadly I decided to spend a few days in the hospital instead. Maybe next weekend if I'm back up to snuff. It sounds like it's back to "pre-weedkiller" status so maybe the fishing will get better again.
