Thinking about hitting Monticello for the first time next week. Looking for something different with some good numbers. Are reservations required like Squaw Creek? Didn't see anything on their website requiring it. Want to make sure before I take the 2.5 hour drive out that way. Thanks in advance guys.

If you have never been there, search this site for information on where to run above the car bridge. I think there have been a few maps posted with information.
There is a $2.00 per person "entry fee". Stop at the gate, there are envelops there. Bring a pen or pencil cause there usually is not one there. They do check time to time so its better to just pay the fee.

What day are you thinking about going there? I'll be out there sometime next week.

Allen Bass Fisher, I'll be going out there on Tuesday. I just plotted 20 places to hit. Hopefully I can get on something!

No not yet. I was on Navionics webpage looking at their free map and marked them on my google map. I'll transfer everything over to my Lowrance unit before I leave. Looks like there's a lot of timber up that way.

I have fished it 3 times and had great trips each time. Solid fish in that lake and not too hard to find its basically a big pond. Find some grass or pads and have fun.
