Harvey Lake is a reservoir in Vermont, near Caledonia County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Harvey Lake covers 357.2 acres in Caledonia County, Vermont. The recorded maximum depth at the reservoir is 145 feet. The documented storage volume is about 23,575.2 acre-feet.
The combination of 357.2 acres and 145 feet of depth gives the reservoir both shoreline water and a true deep basin.
At this Harvey fishery, the reservoir has enough depth for fish to separate by temperature and forage. On this 357.2-acre Harvey basin, identify the working band instead of treating the deepest basin as the automatic target. For Harvey in Caledonia County, change lure depth before abandoning a promising point or break.
Fish reported from the reservoir include bluegill, brown trout, chain pickerel, lake trout, pumpkinseed, rainbow smelt, rainbow trout, and yellow perch. Stocking also supports brown trout and rainbow trout already reported from the reservoir. At this Harvey fishery, stocking describes management activity at the reservoir; it does not guarantee those fish at every spot or on every trip.
On this 357.2-acre Harvey basin, a small float, light line and a piece of worm are enough for bluegill around cover. For Harvey in Caledonia County, perch anglers on the reservoir should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.
At this Harvey fishery, chain pickerel in the reservoir can be found with spoons, spinnerbaits and small swimbaits along vegetation.
For rainbow trout and brown trout in the reservoir at this 357.2-acre Harvey basin, use a small spoon, inline spinner, trout magnet or natural bait on light line. For Harvey in Caledonia County, trout often move from shallow spring water toward cooler or deeper water in the reservoir as temperatures rise.
At this Harvey fishery, early spring on the reservoir calls for a slow presentation near the first break outside protected water. On this 357.2-acre Harvey basin, at midday in summer, anglers there should slow down beside shade, weeds or a nearby depth change. For Harvey in Caledonia County, fall on the reservoir is a good time for small crankbaits and swimbaits around moving forage.
At this Harvey fishery, begin with one moving lure and one slower follow-up bait on the reservoir. On this 357.2-acre Harvey basin, compare incoming water, the old channel and a point leading toward the deeper end of the reservoir.
For Harvey in Caledonia County, a medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles jigs, small crankbaits and live-bait rigs on the reservoir. At this Harvey fishery, a second outfit suited to controlled-depth trolling or vertical jigging covers the coldwater fish at the reservoir.
Divide the reservoir into smaller sections and require a pattern to repeat before crossing the entire 357.2-acre water.
The 145-foot maximum is useful context, but active fish at the reservoir should be located by cover, forage, temperature and repeated bites.
On this 357.2-acre Harvey basin, the documented volume shows that the reservoir can hold fish well beyond its visible banks, especially near the original channel and deeper structural changes.
