York Lake is a reservoir in Massachusetts, near Berkshire County.
York Lake covers 30 acres in Berkshire County. The recorded maximum depth at York Lake is 14 feet. The documented storage volume is about 487 acre-feet.
The verified 14-foot maximum gives York Lake enough depth for fish to move away from the bank without turning the lake into a purely open-water fishery.
Fish reported from York Lake include black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, golden shiner, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, and yellow perch.
Largemouth bass in York Lake can be searched with a spinnerbait before a Texas-rigged worm is worked through the best cover.
Slow vertical presentations around wood and suspended cover are dependable for York Lake crappie. Bluegill and other sunfish in York Lake take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation. Keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on York Lake.
Brown bullheads in York Lake are best approached with a worm or small piece of cut bait on bottom.
Choose three different structural stops before changing sections on York Lake. Compare incoming water, the old channel and a point leading toward the deeper end of York Lake.
Spring at York Lake favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over York Lake, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on York Lake become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
