He caught quite a few out of the canal standing on the tow path. Obviously it's incredibly easy to get there, kind of a large drop off the edge, but he had no problem hoisting the blue gills up to the path. Each one he caught would spook the others nearby, but moving down the path 30-40 feet you could see another bed of them just waiting for you. A bobber and a worm/grub is perfect in the shade of the trees there.
The pond that this post talks about also held quite a few blue gills (and the smallmouth he caught). A little more difficult to get to, you have to head off the trail and hop down some rocks to get to the water. You could probably carry him, but it would take a lot more effort than staying out on the canal.
Good luck!

--Paul,On Sunday I ran up to the Old Angler's area of the C/O to hike with the family (and conduct some advance scouting of this location). One question - how was getting down to the fishable water? I have a 2.5 yr old and have been looking for a good blue location to get him hooked. From your post the frequency of blue gill strikes should do the trick!Thanks,Jeremy
